Select all bombers or fighters in a gravity well

from Sins Forums

Can someone tell me how to select all my bombers / fighters in a gravity well with one click?  They display in groups of 10, and I have to select each group separately to tell it to attack a target.  Any help would be appreciated.

alt-clicking on one will select all of that type.

And you can alt click either on an icon in the empire tree, or an actual unit in the grav well. Either will work.

also. Shift will allow you to add units to the already selected, so Alt+Click fighters, Shift+Alt+click bombers and you'll have all SC selected.

You can also click your empires logo on the empire tree of the gravity well where you want to select your SC. First click selects only combat ships, second click selects only SC...does not only select one type of SC however.

this can be done in 3 places, same effect.

1)left side of ship/structure circle on planet
2)empire symbol in empire tree, in concerned gravity well
3 )your "ships" dots - the ones farther to the right, if there are structures in-well, in the empire tree

one click = combat (including scouts)

two clicks = strikecraft (both bombers and fighters)

three clicks = if in well, colony frigs, if they aren't in well, back to combat ships
