[SUGGESTION] Single-click on ship in sidebar to select, Double-click to center

Currently, when you click on a ship on the sidebar it selects the ship AND centers on it.  I would like this to be split into two different commands.

Single-click on a ship in the sidebar to select that ship only.
Double-click to select AND center on the ship.

Many times I want to call in a reinforcement but rarely do I need to see the ship first.  I just want to select and send it somewhere where I am already looking.  The current system ends up causing a lot of unnecessary scrolling.

At the same time, could HQ selection-by-tile be brought in line with other ships?

Do you mean have the HQ as a tile as well?

I think he's referring to the ability to select already-built ships via the corresponding tile, but the HQ can't be selected by clicking on its tile.

Ah, yes, that makes more sense.  Then I agree with this sentiment as well.
