I will try to be as clear as possible so that you can understand my issue ... Let's go: I have the impression that in my first game (this is my second try) when I was for example watching a ship in the "ships and bases screen" and when I clicked on "go to ship" button not only I was sent to my ship on the main view but the selection panel in the bottom left also displayed my ship. And it is not anymore the case. I tried to reload my first game saves but it is still the same: the selection panel doesn't display my ship. I also noticed that there is "lock" button in the selection panel so I thought that he might be the guilty but clicking on it doesn't change nothing (and I can't see whether it's ON or OFF).

So my question is: did I have an hallucination ??

It works. It doesn't change to a different icon when it's unlocked (it'll still look like a locked lock) but it does work. However, Distant Worlds sometimes double-clicks when you mean to single-click in excessively large games and that might have done it.

I use the Lock button to keep an eye on colony ships while I shuffle through the paperwork of the empire (mostly just answering popups and messing with the F10 Ledger).

OK for the lock button. Thanks.

But regarding my other concern, when you click on "go to ship" from the ships menu, is the ship displayed in the selection panel or only in the main view ?

"Go to ship," in my experience, simply displays the ship in the main view. If you want to select the ship first choose "select ship," THEN choose "go to ship." If you just choose the latter, the map view switches to the ship, the F10 screen poofs, and you don't have the new ship selected.

That's been my experience, anyway.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh ! Great ! "select the ship", that was the key!

Thanks
