more use for right mouse button
« on: September 30, 2012, 07:11:08 AM »

So I've been playing this game for a few days and loving but there is one thing that kinda bugs me and could improve fleet and cargo management

The right mouse button is not used for a lot of things and when i want to sell most of my supplies but not all (ie i have 200 but want to keep 60) it gets kind of tedious, so why not right click to split the stack in half and shift +right click picks up a quarter

also, i dunno if there is an easier way of doing this but right now if i want to switch flagships while out of combat I've found that the only to do this is to mothball my entire fleet besides the ship i want as my flagship, leave the station then recommission my fleet, right clicking on my ship to select "make flagship" would be nice, or just the ship in the top left corner is automatically the flagship

overall i think i would like the right mouse button more or less have the same functionality as in EVE online, where more of the actions you can do with an object are select able from a context menu by right clicking

Overall i love this game, really love the music and ship design keep it up!

Hi Dragon, welcome to the Forum.

To fine-select cargo just hold shift and left click (and hold) on it, a slider will appear.

To switch your flagship simply hit "F" wile flying in the system view (not on a station) and click the "designate flagship" button to the right.

I think the RMB is atm for negative actions, like dismounting weapons from a hull.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
