[Feature req.] Quick selection of ships

[furirkeeper]

Hello
I know I can create wings. But with the behaivor issues with wings mostly related to formations and getting the ships to do what I want, wings gets frustrating.

I would like to be able to select the ships I want and then ctrl-1 click like in most rts games. So that if I then press 1 I get that exact selection again (- those ships that have been destroyed or sold). It does not have to be ctrl or the numeric buttons, just the same idea. This would really reduce the time to give orders during for example combat.

You are asking too much my friend. It’s too complicated.
Like transfer multiple crew from one ship to the other. It’s much better to do one by one
Repair the ships ? One by one.
I can continue long time

But there is hope !
If you are not too old, maybe you can witness the fixes from your own eyes in a few decades ^^

Fly not safe and do dangerous things.
Sanshy out !

Lmao . Think like egosoft

Call me naive, but I don't think any of the things you listed is too complicated, and I want those things too. I believe egosoft will get there eventually.

Honestly, I think multi-crew transfer will come soon, since that part is just horrible today.

All these things are just abstraction layers on top of functionality that is already there. The challenge is probably mostly to build a sensible UI for it.

They will come...in like 3 years at best.
