| Summary | 0011865: Transport Control Group | ||||
| Description | First of all, Would like to be able to put Transports in the same control group as my fleet. This is disabled for some reason. Secondly, I would like an extra hotkey to bind, which, when used to order a fleet with a transport selected, through a wormhole, or not, all the ships will automatically enter the transports, followed by the transports moving to the destination. -Alternatively, have ships only enter transports in selection when using the alt-right-click autofill -Optionally, have that autofill option also automatically evenly-ish split units between the transports, using same logic as the L hotkey does to split your fleet, but to however many transports you have selected. (May be unwanted, unsure) | ||||

[quote]First of all, Would like to be able to put Transports in the same control group as my fleet. This is disabled for some reason.[/quote] What do you mean? you cannot select it together with other ships? have you tried holding CTRL while selecting transports? [quote]Alternatively, have ships only enter transports in selection when using the alt-right-click autofill[/quote] it already works this way, at least for armored transports: you select transports + ships and alt-click autofill -> ship will board only transports in selection. |

First one, I believe the issue was that while I can select them, it would not then let me create the control group, as in, the Transport was not part of it, while everything else I selected was. However, doing a test, It is working now. I am unsure whether I was mistaken at the time, or if it was fixed. Second one, The significant part was that it would do an L-split, meaning equally, more or less, splitting units between the transports, by type, etc. not that it would board only selected transports. Admittedly, I didn't know it would only board selected transports. Not extremely important compared to the first issue however. |

About transports: transports are considered a not military unit (like MSD or enclave/scout starships) so when you drag a box around them and military units are also there, transports will be NOT selected by default. To mix military and not military unit together you have to hold CTRL key while dragging the box around them or use right-side buttons. After selecting them, you can create a group from them as usual. By the way, most not-military units have an option in CTRL tab to override this default behavior (MSD, scout stairship, etc...). Assault transport, on the opposite, are considered military units so you don't need to hold CTRL while selecting. |
