| Summary | 0009238: Copy group assignments from deceased champions when respawning | ||||
| Description | It's a bit annoying to have to put a respawned champion back in all the groups it was in during its former existence, especially during a single-player Normal+Champion game. Note: This is about the numbered control groups. I usually keep my champion in a group of its own so I can jump to it across the galaxy if necessary. When it respawns, it has no group assignments and I need to add it back to group 1 (as well as whatever task force groups I had it in, if any) before I can do anything useful with it. | ||||

EDIT: Never mind, wrong group. My bad! |
|

Erm, is this really "no change required"? I'm talking about the numbered selection groups here, not the ship design Toll mentioned before editing his comment. That's already handled right. |
|
|
It's technically the same unit, even if it gets destroyed over and over again. Might as well keep the unit selection. |

Actually, I like the fact that it does not keep its command groups. I've got an attack fleet (with my champion) as group 1 in another system. The champion dies, that's fine, I'll continue the attack. I hop back to my home system to manage build queues, then hit 1 to go back to my attack fleet. Except because the champion is part of group 1 my view does not move to my attack fleet like I want it to. It may be the 'same' unit, but it is a new unit in a different system. (Well, usually a different system.) I don't want it remembering control groups when it is warping to a different system away from the rest of its control group. |

perhaps an option could be added that allows champions to automatically be readded to the control groups it was in when it died? |
