| Summary | 0021374: Better fleet selection controls on the galaxy map. | ||||
| Description | Source: https://steamcommunity.com/app/573410/discussions/0/1639789306566825770/?tscn=1562366473 Credit to Radioactive and Corbeau. Background: essentially the ship icon stuff on the galaxy map was previously just showing enemy ships to capture as the main focus, but now it's also a marker of fleets you actually own, so it's natural that people want some more control there. Items to do: 1. Clicking a fleet on the galaxy map to select the fleet, not just the flagship (same as the double-click on the fleet centerpiece does in the main view). 2. Holding shift and clicking on a fleet while in the galaxy map to add the fleet to the selection. 3. Left-clicking in empty space in the galaxy map should get rid of your current selection... I guess. That was asked for elsewhere, and might have some unintended consequences, but we'll see. 4. Drag-select for selecting your fleets on the galaxy map would be a nice addition, and we'll see if I can do that quicker than I originally thought. After the initial victories with fighting the new UI into place on the fleets, I'm feeling much better about this prospect. And I get that this is something that is bugging people and feels inconsistent with the way things are now. | ||||

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. |
