The current shipyard que builds structures in the order you in put them and in some odd cases mixes the order.this presents a problem if you are building then a new shipment comes i of a resource you need to complete a new order.If you need this order more urgently than others and your que is full you could see problems even without examples.So I ask that we can change the order that specific structures are built in,not cancel or stop.Just change the order.does anyone see a negative?

I don't entirely see why it matters but,

first I ordered 105 BS
2 IPM's [these were completed before the all the others,bringing about an odd case]
1 bomber
15 IPM's

Now what I want is to be able to control that order moving IPM's up or whatever it is you would want built first,to be done first.

I think you should also be able to cancel orders, like buildings. If you're building in mass, then you should be able to select how many you want stopped.

Ok, sorry, but that's a good idea triad. I mean if someone is coming at you and you need to spam defenses, but you have ships in production, that would be handy.

I would love to be able to have a priority setting for things in the shipyard. I can't tell you how many times I have been hit and look to see if there is a DF and start building recyclers before I enter in my solar sats so it takes a while to get my energy back up. Anyway just to make sure that there is no ambiguity this gets a big yes from me.
