Summary0013100: Battle: Multi-ship selection mode buttons do counterintuitive things
DescriptionDo this:

1. Select 3 ships, put in Escort mode so they get a white dot

2. Select 3 different nearby ships, put in Escort mode then turn off Escort mode (so they go into I dunno what mode but with a black dot)

3. Select all 6, and hit E. They are all now TOGGLING their modes, so still 3 are in Escort, 3 are not.

I expected that all would go into Escort mode, and once ALL were in escort mode, another E keypress would turn off Escort mode.

Perhaps another issue, but closely related:

I would PREFER that E always put in escort mode, period. If I want another mode, I would select another mode. I don't really want E to DISABLE escort mode under any circumstance. I want E to put things into Escort mode. I especially don't want multiple presses of E to screw things up, which I might hit in stressful situations when my mothership is being attacked and I just need everything to get back to guarding quickly.

Not sure if this was a bug or desired behavior so I put under suggestion.

+1 to this, especially the last paragraph. I've been hit by it on a number of occasions. I'd rather have a separate "cancel whatever mode the ships are in" button than any kind of toggle.
