Summary0027527: The pause construction button is very slow
DescriptionIf you have a fleet of reasonable size and you want to turn off the construction of a notable part of the fleet, for instance maybe you want your elite cruiser to be built before all the strike craft or whatever, the button is quite unresponsive taking what feels like up to 500ms per shipline.

As a user it feels weird this operation would be laggy even when the game is paused and no significant game logic should be blocking a toggle.

I did some quick experiments thing morning on a fresh save. There is a slight lag between pressing the button and the text of the button changing. However, once clicked the value is going to change. This just appears to be a minor visual lag, but no gameplay effect; you can just input all your clicks before any of the UI has updated, and it works fine.

That said, I don't have a very large save game to experiment on, so possibly things are different in a very busy save? Feel free to upload one

What makes the delay awkward is that once the game fully registers that you toggled construction, it shuffles the ship list. So if you try to toggle several before it shuffles, you risk being a moment too slow and toggle the wrong ship.

One potential fix in that sense would be if the ship list had a delay on the sorting so you get a few seconds to click all the ships you want before it resorts. Right now I click one ship, wait for resort, then click next each. Which isn't too bad if you want to pause all ships except one if it wasn't for the awkward length of the delay.
