Unit selection from the Planet sidebar?
« on: October 31, 2019, 03:06:48 am »
I am currently struggling with selecting a number of units, potentially from multiple fleets, on a given planet.

My expectation was that I would be able to select any number of ship types from the Planet tab using the usual accelerators (i.e. CTRL+left click adds something to the selection, CTRL+left click again takes it out again etc.).

It does not seem to work like that, though.
Trying the same in the selected ships tooltip after selecting all ships does not seem to work as well.

Is there a way to do what I want already?

If not, adding something to be able to do selections similar to the way I described above might help to resolve some gripes people over on Steam seem to have with the current implementation of the fleets system (in terms of being able to create temporary fleet compositions on the fly although without the ability to assign a control group to them - if it is fast enough that might not even matter anymore...)

Shift + Left Click in the sidebar to add a unit stack to the current selection
Alt + Left Click to remove it.

Oh my... I think I tried Shift at some point but never thought a different accelerator to deselect!
Thanks for the pointer!
