Auto Claiming Ships

[nightphreak]

Setting up your fleet to automatically claim ships (unsure yet how to change the "global" setting) but you will need to uncheck use global setting at the bottom of the behavior page when looking at the info for a ship, then select the drop down menu and change to claim if possible, ensure the ship has marines on it otherwise just use the "mark" option. if anyone knows how to change the global settings please post how in here, thanks.

To change global settings.

Player info -> Empire - Global Standing Orders

I dont think "claim if possible" works at all, I get a notification but thats it, my ships always have at least 2 marines but still I had to do it manually

Wow ... I was looking on that too, but not found it. You just save my day, thanks

BTW Global settings is too global - for example it should be different for military and civil ships.
I mean for example reaction to pirate attacks - military ships should fight, civil ships like miners and freighters should flee.

Currently I set all mine civil ships manually to flee .... but this is boring. At least will help if UI allow me to set behavior per selected list of ships - that will be very useful.

I dont think marines will claim/pilot S sized ships. In other words marines have a specific size and up which they will board and pilot.. Im not to certain as to the size but I think it needs to be bigger than S sized

Marines change role to pilots, I claimed some S ships using them

Marines capture Size S too
