Summary	0006072: CTRL option: allow scout starships and cloak starships to be selected as military ships
Description	Would be helpful if there was a CTRL option to allow both [both or individually] the scout starships and cloak starships to be selected as military ships so you don't have to control-group or shift-select them if you want to use their anti-sniper and anti-dark matter abilities within a fleet. Reduces the micro. Having this option on should disable the scout starship's auto "move to safe place" behavior, as it is preferable to keep that on for the normal scouts.

If the option is created it would be good to apply to transports too; less necessary but they often need to keep up with cloakers and sometimes with fleets.
