How to I select multiple ships at once?
When I want to move say 100 ships it is very slow to click them one by one holding shift.
Is there a faster way to do this?
Say if I have 100 ships all at the same location how do I select them all fast?

Re: How to I select multiple ships at once?
Well, you could fleet them. You would still have to click each one to add to the fleet, but afterwards, it will be one thing to click, rather than 100.

You can add them to a fleet. Then they all work together.
Select one ship, and then click the 'Fleet Transfer' button, it has 4 ships and a +, (Or 'F' key), then click 'Create Fleet', and add the ships.

Hold down the shift key and click on them.

Dam, Will beat me.
There is an 'Add All' button in the fleet window, so it is quick to add them all.

Re: How to I select multiple ships at once?
Why? It works nicely as it is now. You want ships to be together, fleet them. You don't want them to be together, don't fleet them. I believe that "ctrl + a" selects all the ships in a sector when you are on the main screen. Now, what would be cool would be adding a way to fleet fleets. So instead of them being fleets, they would be squadrons (or something). Then, you would make fleets by grouping together squadrons.

Re: How to I select multiple ships at once?
You know thats a great idea - id like to send in seperate fleets to attack a target at once without needing to have then in a single massive fleet - the squadren idea is good. As would be being able to "lend for x amount of terms to an ally" specifc squadrons to attack an enemy on their other frontier or perhaps able to rent fleets from an ally - some ideas to work with that could be used to expand the game in many ways.

Re: How to I select multiple ships at once?
You can shift-select fleets to move them together now. It is just annoying.  Warning: ships/fleets selected with the shift option and moved together ONLY move together for 1 turn. After that, they move separately. |
