Summary0021188: Can't deselect units in the Galaxy Map
DescriptionSometimes when I call one fleet then another one they, somehow, get combined upon selection and it's hard to tell when that happens.
When I thought I selected one fleet and send them to another planet. Happens I end up dragging another fleet to an undesirable place.

I personally think I can solve this by deselecting in the Galaxy Map and reselect again, but I haven't found how. I'd have to fully deselect on the local map. But I really enjoy calling fleets and giving move orders through the Galaxy Map.

Thanks!

* The galaxy map now works exactly like the planet view when it comes to selecting your ships and fleets:
** You can drag-select, click to select fleets, and so on.
** You can additively select stuff with shift held, or subtractively do it with alt.
** Clicking somewhere other than ships or planets or the gui causes your selection to be reset to nothing, just like in the planet view.
** One notable exception is that it doesn't have any sort of "military only, if there are any miltiary in the selection" limitations. That doesn't make sense here.
** Also, when selecting fleet leaders, it selects the entire fleet at a time, since only fleet leaders are shown here. Essentially the only way to select lone ships instead of fleets is for structures or similar that get shown on the map.
** When it comes to giving your ships orders from the galaxy map, that continues to work as it has in past recent releases.
*** Aka, you can give wormhole commands and chain them together, etc. Like the first game.
*** But you can't give attack or assist orders directly from the galaxy map. You CAN select stuff on the galaxy map and then go into a planet and give such orders, though.
