How do you make a fleet?
Shift click. Nothing.
Right click after shift clicking groups. Nothing
Left click CTRL click ships then right click... nothing.

So much for context menu's. Why is every X game so conveluted on the simplest tasks?
Plenty of other solo developers can figure it out. We call it a FLEET BUTTON.



And tutorials? It sits there waiting for me to do what it says. But doesn't tell me what to do in the first place. Because you have to be in the right menu, exit that menu, reload that menu. And hope it finally kicks in! And pray it doesn't stop halfway through. Which it always does.

klick an ship in your owner list, pull your cursor over an other ship and there you need to click the option fly as defender, fly to defend owner. so you can build your fleet . when there are ships how will build this time they cant accept your order without finishing the building, repair equip. prozess

Ok so select both ships. Right click the "leader" so the OTHER ship gets the command options. Then click defend when the option is showing the "would be fleet leader" ship name.
THEN it makes a fleet.

My god. How hard is it to do a "Make Fleet" menu option? Then assing the roles in the Fleet menu. Because CONTEXT. Like they're always talking about with their menu's.

Every X game has been some overly complicated method like this and that has always been what put me off eventually.

Anyway thanks for the info.
