Couple of questions on Interface

from Sins Forums
Hi,

Firstly, how can I set it that all ships I build are on auto-attack and auto-group?

Secondly, how can I set it that ships auto-build if I have resources?

normally speaking, i'm pretty sure all ships (except maybe colony?) all auto attack by default, and they 'normally' are set by default to automatically group into fleets (i've caught couple that weren't and had to set them myself) however you have to manually select control groups... even newly built ships set to rally on another ship with its own control group, argh argh argh... i'm not sure what you mean by auto-build though.

What I mean is I want to press a button to build infinite queue of ships so i dont need to click 100 times to build 100 scouts for example.

Kind of like "Tribal Trouble" (another Stardock game)? I don't see that working in this game - you won't be able to win against a competent AI with just one type of ship.

That's not possible to do, sorry.

Is auto-group possible? Saves me making an extra click, which, granted, is nothing anyway. Just saying it would be a nice thing to have. *hint hint*.

Other than that, this is te best space game I have played since homeworld

There's auto-fleet. Your ships will automatically group towards a fleet in the current gravity well.
