I recently speeded up my maneuvering tool play by disabling some Mac shortcuts, thus enabling the Vassal shortcuts. Wow, so much better! Shortcuts we really important. It just takes a while to learn because there are so many...
ARMADA VASSAL - Being the Opponent YOU'D Want to Play
I could see a few changes to the UI to speed things up. Take a speed 4 ship, having to move through all 4 spots on the movement tool isn't exactly fast... click click click :-)
It's on my list of things to look at, but all I can guarantee is I'll look at it, eventually.
