Can you "multi" scrap your ships ?
I am trying to find out how to "destroy" ships I own. But cannot find the option in the ship menu.

ok just found out you can only do that one by one and not by multi selecting

Ye no multi select for anything...... in a game with 1000's of units it boggles the mind why it's like this try scrapping 500+ unwanted ships....

My thought
Its just military ships you can destroy private ships with one klick and they dont need to move to a spaceport.

My thought
A reason might be because you get cash from scrapping your ships at the yard.

I mean with multiple selected units when you have them all selected most all options vanish and you are forced to select each ship and either scuttle or retire...also would be nice to chose scuttle or retire instead of it being oddly random?

agreed. Multi select is only available in the troop screen to disband, its insane.

There really needs to be basic functions added/turned on in the next update unless there is reasons why they are not already available.

1. Multiselect scuttle/retire.
2. select all of type/role.
3. Multiselect ctr+click.
4. Queue and repeat orders!

I'm sure there are more these seem basic and technically already in the game.

Completely agree!

I understand having only the 2 devs makes this quite the game. But these are pretty basic features

Are we supposed to manually click one by one hundreds of ships?
noego Mar 18, 2022 @ 12:38pm 
And let us nor forget. Armies.
dezgard Mar 18, 2022 @ 12:39pm 
We should make this the simple features thread :P

+1

I just had to make 400 clicks to scrap 200 ships :LaughingGuest:

Actually 400+ clicks because sometimes I misclicked

10/10 would break my finger again :steamthumbsup:
