Selection kinda buggy

from GalCiv2 Forums
While having a lot of fun with this game, the selection is driving me mad!
Often I will select a ship, then select another one somewhere else and when I then rightclick to move the 2nd ship, the 1st one moves as well.
This becomes horribly annoying when either new ships are produced and/or the auto-focus on inactive ship happens.

BTW: is there an option to turn off the auto-focus?
If not, please create one.

I think that the selection thing was a design decision and not a bug. Click on a planet or something before clicking on another ship.

I thought it was a bug. If it was a design decision, then it wasn't one of their better ones. If they wanted to put in the ability to select different ships at different places and move them to the same spot, then they should have used shift click, like everyone else.

I was about to post the same bug (latest version before the 1.1 beta). It's very annoying, especially if you're in a tight battle, and suddenly one of your ships wastes its movement points moving to the point where you sent another ship Made me curse out loud several times.

And I don't think this is a design decision. it usually seems to happen when I click several ships in a row with the left button, with fleets or stacked ships involved. The final situation is that I have a single, non-stacked (!), non-fleet ship selected, I right-click somewhere else, and a ship I selected earlier is sent there as well.

i had this problem a lot too. very annoying.

i've just installed 1.1 beta, and got to the point where i've got enough ships that i would start to notice it.

i'm very interested to see if it still happens. ..
