How to locate a specific ship?

from GalCiv3 Forums

I'm new to this game and playing on a ludicrous sized galaxy and am having trouble locating a ship I don't know where its parked, its a mercenary, so not a specific type of ship that I can command to go somewhere.

What I feel is missing is a listing of all ships, and the ability to center the map location on it. In diplomacy, I can see the entire list of my ships, but it doesn't say where they are. Is there a command I can use or a listing of ships I can click on somewhere? Or do I have to click on each planet, shipyard, and starbase in my ludicrous sized galaxy to try and find a specific ship?

Thanks

In the upper right of the screen you can access the list of all your ships and fleets and sort it acoording to some criteria. Everything not ideal, but better than nothing.

I use the old school method.  I write down important locations with notepad and a pencil.  LOL

Thanks for the info! Exactly what I needed.

Give the ship a unique name and use the search.  It calls up the fleet or location.  It has been a while since I had such a ship, but that is my memory of what the search was capable of.  It seemed useful.
