Summary0000635: Cannot Instantly Queue 50 Ships For Construction
DescriptionIn 3.0 and prior, it was possible to queue up 50 ships in a build queue with a single modified (shift, control, or whichever button it was) click. This no longer seems to be the case and I find myself constantly having to ctrl-click five times in a row to achieve what I used to be capable of in one click.

Yep, we ran out of hotkey modifiers. Really do you even need that? If you use looping builds, even if you do ratios of ships you shouldn't need more than 5 or 10 most of the time, I wouldn't think.

If it's that important to you we can add in an optional unbound key that you can bind, but my impression was that was overkill because of the loops.

That is sometimes the case, but I've found in most games these days, I just queue up a bunch at a time (playing with 8 homeworlds = really high ship caps = don't want to build forever and don't want to micromanage shipyards).

It seems to me like the shift key does nothing in this scenario, though.

CTRL+ALT should work as a hotkey in place of creating a new one. You're queueing *5 ships due to CTRL, and *10 ships through ALT. 5*10 = 50.
