| Summary | 0021802: Can't give orders to a fleet in the middle of a pack of units - suggest moving Rebuild to a key modifier | ||||
| Description | In AI War 1 you could easily shift a bit backward your whole group of units by clicking somewhere in the group that's somewhat offset from the center. You didn't have to zoom. In AI War 2 as soon as a single flagship is selected (i.e. most of the time) you can't do this because any click on a unit is interpreted as some kind of "repair" or "rebuild" order - don't remember what the explanation was since I don't use this feature. So you have to zoom enough (i.e. a lot) to find a gap between the units to click. Good luck if the units are moving, especially in the future if you're playing coop and don't want to constantly pause the game and interrupt your partners. I think it's one of the very frustrating aspects of control that are left in the game, and it would be nice to fix this for 1.0. Some ideas: - (preferred) Move the rebuild feature (assuming that's what right-click on a unit does) to another key, such as modifier+right-click or something else entirely - Rely entirely on automatic rebuilding. The rebuild "beam" could be replaced by an aura which rebuilds everything around it at the same time, but less quickly than the beam. That, or drones. - Reserve this kind of functionality to non-attack fleets a.k.a. Combat Factories and BattleStations/Citadels | ||||

Hey, you're right. This is annoying. Fixed. Solution: rely on automatic rebuilding. There are a lot of rules on "when something can be rebuilt", and it's basically never something you can meaningfully control directly. |

Thanks, that was lightning-fast. |
