Quicker quick battles and skip AI move/battle options

from GalCiv3 Forums

It would be nice if the game had some option that allowed to skip AI moves/battles that are not related to your own civ.

("Skipping" = they would happen of course still but the player does not have to watch them, as they take their time)

Also quick battles are nice, but IMO waiting for the final explosion to move on could come somewhat faster...esp. late game if you can fight several times per turn and/or fleet. Some games also allow to adjust move/combat speed. GC 3 has it for the battle viewer, but would be cool for the quick on-map battles/moves too.

Yes for quicker quick!!!

I actually want an option to watch my single ship movements like GC2 did.  It takes more time but I get a much better feel for what is going on.

Stardock needs to simply have a settup box to not play battle animations on quick battles. They are instantly auto resolved and done.

I always thought it was stupid that you would click quick battle but then have to wait for the map animation to finish.  Quick Battle should be click and done.

This is an absolute must, especially with AI stacking dozens of ships late game.  Ship spam has always been much worse than SB spam IMO.
