| Summary | 0001497: make loading transports easier | ||||
| Description | I'm thinking the ability to select transports and ships, and provide a button to load them. Right now, I have to pause the game, zoom in and make sure that I right-click properly. Sometimes it is possible that you must right-click several times on the transport to get the correct sound that means you loaded the ships. So.. 1) select ships and transports on the sidebar of a planet using additive or subtractive buttons 2) click the load button(needs to be added), and the game will load the ships | ||||

Chris, if we do this, I suggest it be a context menu item called "Auto Load" or whatever, and give it the usual direct-keybind option. Unless it really, really needs a spot on the permanent UI, but I'm not thinking so. |

Yeah, I think that would be the case -- context menu. Low priority for now, though, there are much bigger fish to fry. Machine, if your transports are a slight bit away from your other ships, you can load them super easily from far zoom just by right-clicking on the far zoom icons. You don't have to zoom in unless those icons are obscured by something else. |

Also to note the sweet spot on transports is about 1/4th the size of the icon making hitting it hard for me many times. It seems selecting transports has gotten harder since 3.x |
