One retroseries time saving solution:

The first ship in the series should have the maximum amount of movement. On all your ship building planets: repeat build your basic hull design and have the "go to waypoint" set to your main repair facility and just repair at one location.

This is not the most efficient strategy but usually you can't repair all your ships at once anyway so you'll save your mouse finger from all that clicking through all the different menus if you do your retroseries at one spot.

at the pbw site check out the game fourms
there is one called return to hell

there will be tons of info there

A small empire on that map has 500 planets and about 1500 ships and another 1500 bases.

We have talked and talked about it....

But the key is to use the build ques ( always )
Waypoints for fleet assembly.
Then waypoints for the fleets to go once there trained.
ANd for cargo movement repeat orders on cargo ships and assembly plants for the ships to pick up the cargo.

I have my turns down to about 20 minutes... tops...

It is also recommended to make your systems so no one can pop in ... That way you can concentrate your static defences on the outskirts and then have a couple of bases building the static defences in the core systems ( on repeat )
That way you can do the defend build and forget. And not have to go to every planet.

Repeat is your friend added with waypoints and build ques your set. Also another recommendation is to put those warp points at a planet with the most moons... And have them build the static defences for that warp point.
And then build and channel to the training grounds and then to the fronts.
