Easier fleet management. #97

Closed YiffLord closed 1 year ago

YiffLord commented 1 year ago

Problem Description

I'm always frustrated when the fleet selection divides itself in space if the fleet size is below 12 ships, regardless of type. For example, you have 3 Hawks and 4 Star Barges, you'd have to select each ship individually. Or if you have, say 322 Arach Hulks and 5 Albatross, the Albatross will be divided aswell.

Desired Solution

Group all ships of the same type regardless of how many there are in the same way that it happens when you have a large fleet.

This will make giving commands something viable instead of having a situation where you have to pick and give commands ~8 times while something of magnitude is happening (Reason why the commands are needed).

Alternative Approaches

I don't know, but as long as it fixes it it's awesome.

Additional Context

Painful small fleet management...

I agree. I need to rewrite the code that generates those icons. On my device, That list is unusable, as it usually only ever shows one ship anyways due to limited screen space.

On large screens (Tablets) that doesn't seem to be an issue at all, thankfully.
