Default Grouped Ship / Fleet Functions

One thing I would strongly suggest to MM to incorporate in the next patch, if there is time, or further down the road if there isn't, is the ability to activate the "Use Component" function when selecting a group all possessing the same component. For example: I have a several fleets of 6 baseships each, every ship being equipped with an "Emergency Propulsion Unit". In order to activate the unit I have to take each ship out of the fleet and then activate the component one ship at a time. This is both time consuming and irritating. The game should offer such functionality to a fleet, I think, as that would make such components vastly less frustrating to use. Perhaps an interface similar to that used by the "Scrap/Analyze/Mothball" function could be implemented, allowing the user to choose which ships are to use which components. If this could be done it would be an immense improvement to that portion of this fantastic game.
