Control in solar system view (zoom out)

from Sins Forums
I have a bit of an issue with the zoom UI. Most of my time is spent on that level, giving ordres on the fly. However, when I select the "Units" in that view it selects ALL units in that zone. I often have ships in the sector that I want to stay there after I move the fleet out (fleet responding to an attack in a sector that is defended).

That is cumbersome. If I have a fleet set, it should only select the units in the fleet, much the same way that you have to cycle through to select colony ships and strikecraft. Would make it much easier.

Click the fleet icon on the empire tree if you want to select just the fleet among other ships ;)

Fleet icons are placed on the very top.

Yeah I know the work around and how to do it. But I spend most of my time in the zoom out window. Thats a couple of unnessisary steps. Instead I could click that button until I got my fleet and then I could give orders. That would streamline the process quite a bit.

Don't know about you guys, but I have ships all over that never get moved. My fleets are my mobile units as such, it would be a lot easier.
