Alright so i've been playing Sins for a day or two and have been really enjoying it, naturally. Everything's been working as expected so far, making this all the stranger. I went to create a new squad at the start of a game as usual; a capital ship and a few frigates and whatever, so I selected the cap, selected the others, hit Ctrl+1 and expected to be done with it. No. For some reason whenever I press 1 to go to the squad, it picks one of the frigates as the leader. Nomatter what I do, what order I select them in, whether I click them one at a time, alt+click, alt+shift+click, use shift+tab to change selected unit before doing ctrl+1 again, set them as a fleet with the capital the leader, set the capital as group 1 on his own then add the others to it afterwards, nomatter what I try it always picks some other small ship to be the leader. Confused the hell out of me, especially seeing as i'd made several similar squads and fleets in a previous game without a problem, so I went back to those games to check the patch hadn't messed up squads or something, and sure enough they were fine. When I hit the right number, it selected the whole squad, with the capital fleet leader as the squad leader, just like i'd made them effortlessly ages ago. So I tried again to create a squad, even out of the very same troops, simply assigning them a different squad number, and suddenly, even though the cap is still the leader of the "fleet" and everything is the same, whenever I hit the number it insists on having some random cruiser as the active unit with the rest of the fleet (including the damn capital fleet leader) trawling behind him. I also realise that if you click the fleet "icon" above the fleet leader you can select the whole fleet that way, so I tried doing that before assigning the number, but the problem persisted and pressing the number would still select the fleet with a cruiser as the active unit. Fail.
It's annoying as hell, so I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with it? It's 4am here so sorry if i'm not very clear. Also sorry if this is in the wrong place, just didn't exactly seem like a "technical" problem.
Thanks in advance.
