Ships don't jump together anymore in test version

March 16, 2024 12:15:38 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire II ForumsSins of a Solar Empire II Forums

Newest test version seems fun, but the ships now jump sporadically and not as a fleet anymore. Before I was able to choose by holding CTRL to make them jump without a formation, but now they do that anyway! Am I missing a setting or toggle option or is this a bug?

EDIT: Think I found it, have to right click the move options.

Yes, as you discovered it now works the exact same as Sins1.

Suggestion; maybe change the default fleet behavior back to flying in formation rather than quick move? Granted it's not the end of the world and easy to fix, but it just feels more natural to have fleet move as default IMO.

I don't know, I actually like it so I don't have to micro manage units that really need to get a move on where as collapsing onto a gravity well is usually a bit of forethought in timing.

It seems we lost the ability to have fleet jump on and be able to hold control to make the command a GTFO move. I missed that function and hope to see it back.

We changed it back to the way it works in Sins1 due to popular demand. This means you can right click the move button to put ships in/out of a formation jump and not have to hold hotkeys. You can also switch this state back and forth using CTRL-TAB.
