I do not personally see high levels of skill or gameplay very much involved in moving through two layers of GUIs to have access to the function you want. That's not gameplay. That's two mouse clicks instead of one.

No, this does not detract from the gameplay. Those who very much love maneuvering through these screens can continue to do so. To do the contrary hardly makes one less of a gamer. It's not who has the fastest mouse.

If that's playing the game, then (but of course for the ban on such things) the game could be played with scripts and subroutines. I can only see this enhancing the game. The gameplay involves actual human thought.

Let's not take the actual playing of the game out of the game please. The process of recalling a fleet involves 2 simple clicks.

Trust me - a good bit of advice is to space your fleets out when attacking anyway. If you can't recall any fleet in time then that is your mistake.

i absolutely agree. this game is about timing. page flip is part of that timing.

I totally disagree.. if you see a Ninja and have to flip through pages to recall..that is no mistake..it is bad planning by the Coders... and with the Lag we have seen recently..being able to recall from Overview is not asking too much and is not a game changer...

I do not have much issue with the extra clicking involved to recall fleets,
generally I have the fleet menu open in another window anyways,

Look, its' not really going to change the game that much, it would just make things a little simpler. Don't exxagerrate. To me it seems like the top players hate the idea, relative to the new ones.
