Select all the pods by double clicking, or shift-click each one to add to the group. Once they're loaded, you should then have the option to launch the group.

It looks like you only selected one pod to load, so that is the entire group. If that wasn't your intention, you can cancel it (it will dump the contents) and then you can start over with a bigger group of pods.

Thanks for the reply! Once they're loaded, I can't get them to launch together. double clicking and selecting launch group doesn't seem to work for me when they're already loaded. - do you have to select the group before they are loaded? I'll give that a try!

Looks like it doesn't work. When I multiselect them, I have just some pods selected, not group of pods. Then if I try to "group-launch" them - just one pod is getting launched each iteration "group launch -> select map region". Then I can see them flying together, but then they get landed here and there wherever they want, like they've been launched separately. In this way resources are getting wasted because game thinks that there are no pawns who could use it, and pawns are getting landed separately.

So the question is "how to group several pods?". If pod launchers are built adjacent to each other - it doesn't make a group of their pods. If you multiselect pods and press "Select entire group" (or something like that) - just one pod will be selected.

Duuude... =)))) Got it. Looks like I should load 'em as group. Build launchers, build pods, multiselect pods, press "load a group of N", - it creates a group of pods. I'll check it.

EDIT: Yes, that's the way to group-launch.

found that out myself, you need to wait until they're all built then double click to select them as a group. Then load and launch!

Have fun mate!
