Is there a smarter way of doing this

Post by mvp »

Hi guys,

So whenever i build a new fleet of ships, i go into the build menu, and queue up the ships i want. After i have ordered 20-30 ships, the only way i know to get them into the same fleet, is to find all my military ships under the ships/bases menu, and ctrl+click every single of my newly ordered ships and then select new fleet. This takes forever in my late game, because i have to scroll through so many ships. Is there a smarter way of doing this?

When I build ship, I:

1. Buy them.
2. 2 seconde later I go in the menu and all the ship I bought are orange almost always at the end of the list.
3. Shift click all of them (Usualy you get the all the fleet with 1 shift click.

What Psyko says.

You can also order the list by fleet. Ships without a fleet will appear as <none>.
I consider that all military ships types except Escorts and Resupply ships have to be in a fleet.

That works if you don't have the ship screens sorted. If you have it sorted, click on the empty column header (Empire?). It won't do anything right then, but close the screen and reopen it, it'll remove the sortings and put the latest ships last.

Also, I find out that right-clicking the headers in various screens sometimes remove the sort criteria as well.

Thanks, first time it was all a mess, because i had tried to sort it after fleets. Next time i loaded my save, it was already sorted, and the suggestion from the other guys helped. Now i have all i need :)
