Is there anyway to force every unit of a particular type to activate an ability
For instance, the Vasari missile frigate, to have them all selected in a gravity well and have them all activate siege/long range mode?
-Tabbing through and manually doing it for every unit is beyond my patience level.
There's a hot key for selecting all units of a given type but I forget off the top of my head. Also I think setting the autocast to enabled might work in that particular case.
there isn't one that I found but I think it would be very useful if they added it, also scuttling is another thing where this would be useful.
Yeah it would, ever try scuttling an entire mine field you want to reposition? It's a bloody mini game in and of itself. And not one of those fun and charming mini games either.
In my opinion, the easiest way to do this is to use the empire tree...there is a line in you settings file (diplomacy.user, or something like that) called MaxEmpireWindowStackSize....if you set the number on that line to something really large, then when the Empire tree is stacked (ie it group similar units together into a single stack), you can always select all units of a given type with a single click...
selecting all of a type isn't the problem, its getting them all to use the same ability that's the pain.
