Summary0001593: Space Dock Templates
DescriptionI would find it very useful to have templates for the ships in a build cue. Often I have a few different builds I use for different purposes. I usually build everything, but also find I need only one or two units that I can spit out for defense in a hurry. Being able to switch between the two quickly (without having to reclick all the ships to add them) would be nice. The templates would be accessible at any space dock (global).

This would also help in games where you have an exceedingly large number of bonus ships. I've built '2' sets of space-docks in some of my games to get around the queue limit before. This would be a nicer way of doing it and it has extra utility as described by Fleet.

I think these build templates are a great idea. It would be nice to have a "panic button" that drops all production at the space dock and spits out fighters and cutlasses or someodd, or to have a button for deep-strike prep that would build raiders and bombers, or any other situation that comes up.

The panic and deep-strike prep buttons you mentioned could of course just be user-configured templates and not require extra buttons.

the difference between Deep-Strike and Panic buttons are that with deep strike you'd probably want to build on all space docks as well.. Hmm. Could you set a template to effect all Space Docks? (For people who seed rally posts and space docks on all worlds, and congregate them at a chokepoint)
