So, I've recently realized I could hold more loot and supplies if I had a dedicated freighter with me, only now the "all" button for reinforcement before battles becomes moot.. I definitely don't want to deploy my unarmed freighter into a even battle.. it would in all likelihood just die.
So what I propose is another button right where scuttle, mothball and all those other buttons are. In my mind this button would mark the ship as a non-combat, civilian, or freighter. which would mean it would not not automatically be included when you click the "all" button on the reinforcement screen before a battle.
It would still be manually selectable if you really wanted to deploy it for some reason, and it would obviously still be deployed if you are trying to run away from a pursuer.
Only now, even with dedicated freighters you could hit the "all" and then "deploy" without having to manually either click off all the freighters, or click your combat ships one by one.
I'm sure it could be solved another way as well if the button won't fit or whatever..
Thoughts?
