| Summary | 0001835: cloaker starships select as mobile military | ||||
| Description | Instead of having to drag a box twice to move the cloaker starships, have the cloakers move with the first drag selection and fall in with the other fleet starships. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

It'd be nice but it heightens the chance of accidentally exposing valuable non-military ships like ARS's or Survey ships to enemy fire if you forget to double select. It's less than perfect either way, but I think it might be better the way it is unless we can come up with something else. |
|
|
A control option, perhaps? |
|
|
I have been using my cloaker to escort raid and leech starships on raids, and it makes it a bad deal to not have the cloaker follow a raid till they start firing. Perhaps the cloaker ship could just be classed as a fleet starship, instead of making the whole support class selectable by a single click. |
|
|
I tend to use control groups to get cloakers and scout SS to move together. I am inclined against for the same reason as wyvern83 |
|
|
There's actually a keyboard control that lets you "Select all regardless of military status," which is what I think you want here. Just hold Ctrl to select everything under your drag box. |
|
|
Awesome, works perfect for me. I didnt know of the ctrl+drag=select everything, being new. Perhaps that could be a tip of the day? |
|
|
Good point! I've added that to the list of tips of the day. :) |
