Comm Menu amendment: OOZ Ship build & Commands to ships outside squad(solved)

@BBT: That is what squads are for, the player would currently pick one of the 20 and make them the superior for the other 19 (or organise them like a tree/heirarchy).

ok so what happens if that one superior unit is destroyed, what happens to the others? By my reckoning (and in all fairness I may have misunderstood or got this wrong) they would have no superior and I would either have to reform the heirachy (which in itself is a slow and painful process) or command the others as individuals.

Thank you.

Now the game goes in the right direction.

These changes will be hopefully avaliable in an upcoming 3.50 beta build.

Now we only need two more things:
- some kind of menu to quickly move and assign many ships between squads
- add the feature from Terran Conflict where you had like 5 pre-defined quick squads (blue, red, yellow, green) and add them to broadcast option - like blue squad > attack this, green squad > protect this.

P.S What about calling shipyards away from shipyard sector?

Yay!
Better late then never.
Hope you can soon have a similar meeting regarding uninteruptible 'foreground' conversations and ship control from map/property list

@Egosoft 1.thx for implenting the first pard, but 2. what about the OOS ship build request, any plans?

Having the ability to order ships from an NPC shipyard while OOZ would be great. The only problem I see is when the shipyard is already building an NPC ship, the player can't make a new build request until it's finished. Perhaps they could implement a build queue of some sort.

Yup.
I been hoping for this, for awhile.

Wanted to let you know that I installed this and enjoy it very much. No issues so far. Beats flying all the way there to find their queue is filled with an order not able to complete.

Comm Menu amendment: OOZ Ship build & Commands to ships outside squad(solved)

Do you want to give a new command to any owned ship without superior, (so giving commands to squadmembers is not enough)?
