Making ship management easier

[Dinosawer]

My apologies if this is in and I missed it, but it would be nice if management for multiple extra ships was a little less micro-managy.

As far as I can determine, if I want all ships I have around to do something, the only way to do this is select all of them individually and order each of them. Which is a bit fiddly if I want to order 5 ships to attack enemies when jumping into a pirate battle.

 

 

So, maybe you could add:

a) a way to select multiple owned ships at once (like dragging a box around them as in RTS games)

b) a way to send an order to all owned ships in the system

c) allow us to order ships from the ship list in the player menu (combined with checkboxes you could order multiple ships then)

 

 

or a combination of the above?

Try zooming out A LOT. You'll enter the strategy mode, from there you can control your ships RTS-style.

Ooooooohhhhh.

I noticed the mode, but thought it was for having a system map. Oops. Thanks!  ;D

Is there a list of the controls for that somewhere? Wasn't mentioned in the tutorial (which I assume is still WIP) and it doesn't seem to be on the wiki.
