dejagore -> New ships start as automated (12/14/2011 12:03:01 AM)
Maybe I'm wrong but I suppose that before the official patch, it was possible to set in options, that new ships start automated, however when You build ship manually (Go to station -> build a military ship) it started with NO automation. Is there any possibility to do the same after new patch? It's helpful to set automation by default when building escort/constructors/figates ships but it's annoying when destroyers+ starts as automated by default.

I agree, this would be nice.

Check your options menu; I think that is a parameter that can be set... I just saw that a day or so ago...[8D]

You definitely can. It's one of the checkboxes in the options menu. It's normally a good idea to leave this checked, unless you want to micro-manage your entire navy.

Concur, this should be the Default setting, but it is not. Go to Option, then click on Empire Setting. At the bottom is a box you need to check "Newly Built Ships are Automated." While you are in Options, the main Option screen has a box "Loaded Games are Paused." You may as well click that too (this also should be a Default).

@balto @gelly_cube @tjhkkr - I have option "Newly built ships are automated" turned on. I'm just wondering if there is a possibility to build few ships - let's say few destroyers for my fleet so they won't start automated. I'm sure I've read a post on this forum a tip, to manually build ships in the starbases, so they won't start as automated like the rest of the scheduled ships.

Yes you can do this. First order your destroyers built. Then open the ships and bases list (or military ships) and find your destroyers - they should be orange as they are not yet complete. Click on the blue automation symbol to turn it off for your destroyers. Voila!

Voila! indeed that's probably the only way to build certain ships as not automated and leaving others as automated by default. thanks for the tip feelotraveller !
