Attack Multiple Enemies (Feedback)

[valid ridge]

If I want my ships to focus fire a single target, I will click a single target. If I want my ships to attack multiple targets, I will drag to bandbox multiple targets. It has always been like that in all the older HW games. Just don't make them all shoot the same target by default, it's frustrating and it's ruining the gameplay. I also think that pressing [Ctrl] should issue attack orders to the nearest enemy units, just like pressing [H] issue harvest orders to the nearest resource units, it's a bit more streamlined for players

Please do not do this. I love knowing that I can bandbox two collectors with my bombers and they will target each one at a time.

Perhaps then a fix just needs to apply for fighters vs fighters. So each unit can choose to engage a selection of enemy fighters, not just on one at a time.

As a counter, they could always make this an optional on/off switch in the Game Settings so people who desire this can obtain this feature, while those who like what we can have can simply switch it off.

Personally I think this is a good idea, I don't want my fighters attacking the same unit, and if I want them to attack a single unit I will bandbox/click-on it. Logically it makes sense to me, I don't want to baby my units by splitting them up and attacking each units one by one with squads of 4-5 fighters.

Yeah that example is ok. But imagine a group of frigates trying to shoot down a single fighter in a group of 20 fighters!
