| Summary | 0015760: New option: Units do not inherit control groups | ||||
| Description | Basically, my problem is that my mercenary dock is set to control group nine, which in turn is set to only work when it has X resources. All the mercenary ships that come out of it are also in control group nine, though, which means they'll never be repaired unless I have that much resources. Could there be an option (perhaps control group specific) that makes produced ships come out of docks without a control group? | ||||

This would be very useful. |

The functionality was always meant to make it so all units produced in a facility have a grouping based around that facility. The issue that occurs is you often want different settings for a facility when compared to actual ships. Personally I feel that to make this useful, there should be a separate parallel control group set for facilities, e.g. f1-f0, that produce ships in their corresponding ship control group s1-s0. This way you fix the original intention, while alleviating concerns with the system. As far as how to organize the control groups? My only idea is use the F1-F10 keys for facilities, and 1 - 0 keys for ships with the same control schemes. It's not perfect, but maybe someone else has a good idea for how it could be done? |
