Dev Request: Goto Option for Constructors

from Stardock Forums
One thing I am finding tedious at the moment is building starbases in the late game. I agree with another poster that maybe an Uber-Constructor type is needed. If not, then one thing I would like to see is a SMAC-style Goto Base/Sector/Starbase option.
Perhaps in the form of - when I right-click on the new Constructor - it will remember the co-ordinates I sent the last one and give me the option to send this one there as well.
At the moment I am building constructors all over the galaxy and sending them to a planet/sector on the frontline so if it could remember my last selected destination - I could send new constructors there with one click.

Hmmm while thinking of it, I might like an option to send it to the least upgraded starbase. On the other hand, since while Im boosting starbases Im making several constructors every turn - that will send too many to the least upgraded starbase. I mean since it takes X turns to get there and I'll make many new ones during that time. So it'll not be useful. Never mind :)

The auto-attack option appears to be smart enough not to send every ship to the closest enemy ship - it actually distributes your ships between several enemies. Maybe a new option for constructors could do that, as well...

Well, perhaps a list of starbases, just like the planets list ( I know they are grouped in the ships list), but you could right click in that list when you have the constructor selected and constructor would go there.
