Split Selection - Does it work?
« on: January 14, 2020, 10:42:07 am »
Hi there,

Just wondering whether the split ship selection shortcut key actually works? I bound it to ctrl+~ but that seems to do nothing.

Thanks,

It does work, but bear in mind that's only if you've directly selected ships.

When you have selected an entire fleet or multiple fleets, there's no way to "divide a fleet in half" in terms of the way the selection works.  That's why a variety of deselection things don't work at this point -- those ones are based on deselecting specific ships, etc.  But when a fleet is selected, it makes darn sure that all its ships are also selected, by its nature.

It'd be nice if the split function did work with fleets. In a "I have 5 assault fleets and 2 support fleets selected, get me half of that (2 or 3* assault fleets and 1 support fleet)." Because I have been in situations where I have most/all of my fleets on one planet and want to spilt off a chunk for a task, leaving the rest behind, and don't care which fleets I get.

*I don't care if it rounds up or down.
