Joubarbe -> "Set home" button (4/17/2010 12:10:59 AM)

Hi,

Is the "set home" button used to automatically troop or refuel fleets assigned ?
This lead me to another question : how do YOU do to load your ships with troops ? Do I really need to select all my ships manually and select "load troop to the nearest..." ?

EDIT : and what the computer does when I automate my fleets ? I can't even understand, I have ships everywhere, doing nothing... Manual control seems to be the only way.

the troop loading has to be done manually for now i.e. ship by ship. having a fleet command to load up troops for all ships in the fleet is currently one of the suggestions that the devs are working on (i hope!)

Note that another option is that if you have your fleet automated and near your home planet, it should automatically load troops and fuel. But yes, we have a fleet-wide load troops command on our to do list.

I feel that developers have not really anticipate manual control of player's fleets. But after 20 years of game, and 5 simultaneous wars, automated fleets are unmanageable. But yeah, I'll wait for the update :)

yea...not to mention the uber clutter of the starmap. i lost control due to a visual inability to locate my assets rather then a lack of strategy or management. i was in fact taking on 3 wars on my own (with comps about as big as i am) and the best thing is, the wars started due to the comp getting pissed at my AI trespassing their systems and trampling all over their turf for god-knows-what reason...
