Kostura Cannons: How to set all to fire at once?

from Sins Forums

I am trying to set up a network of kostura cannons and I'd like to be able to group them so they'd all be able to fire with only one targeting (rather than clicking each and making them fire individually). Is there any way to do this?

Nope. :S

Really you're better of using Kostura's for getting around the map easily and keeping structures disabled, rather than fire so many at once you destroy them all (though that is fun to do occasionally).

Not entirely sure, but perhaps you could group select them and assign a hotkey, then use Tab to cycle selection while Q-clicking to fire?  Haven't actually tried it myself.

You can select the cannon and assign it a number like you do with fleets (IE CTRL+1,2,3,etc).

I've never tried to link them in any way. I usually just assign 7,8,9,0 for any super weapons I want to micro manage.

For me it's always 5678 for superweapons, 9 for titan ;p But yeah, making them a hotkey is the way I play
