Stacked Destroyer

open-ig-0.94.404

Right now Destroyers get stacked like fighters. This way you have something 
like "Destroyer 1/1".

The problem is: No there is no way of individually assemble them. It goes even 
further and removes previously equipped items. Notify the Destroyers not having 
a shield. This is only true for the second one.

This is not the orginal DOS IG behaviour and it wasn't on Open IG before IIRC:

You can go forward and backward on a group by left/right clicking on the item. 
New ships are added to the end. If a slot is selected and you click through the 
group, the very same slot will be selected for upgrades. To cancel the 
equipment selection, click outside the green boxes but near the ship image.

Interesting approach. I see the advantages and it certainly gives a better 
overview when having many ships in the fleet but it's very counterintuitiv. I 
really like the approach of modern game design where everything is 
self-explanatory or at least sort of :)

Maybe we could do this way of listing ships but with a scrollable overview of 
each ship of the selected class on the right. Like this:

Btw.: Is it right that every Destroyer has the same name?

In addition to that: Why not starting to group ships after a certain ammount is 
reached. I mean it looks rather silly having this big empty screen with three 
ships and Open IG starts to group them.
