Button that marks all your damaged ships.

[young spoke]

So after every battle I have a lot of ships that will be damaged and it is very tedious to have to select each and every one of them looking for the red wrench symbol, especially since my fleet is around 400 ships.
It would be much easier if I could just flip a switch and all damaged ships blip icons change color to red or purple or something easily recognisable, so I have a birds eye view of all damaged ships and can spend less time cycling through all my ships looking for the damaged ones and repairing them post-battle.

okay im just gonna ask

what are you doing with 400 whole ships?

[young spoke]

The same thing someone else does with just 1 ship, except 400 times better! 😄

[brave willow]

this man requires several smaller fleet commanders to command his entire fleet properly

[young spoke]

In my fleet, there can be only one fleet commander 😎

[brave willow]

still can you post a pic of that fleet

i wonder how it looks like

[young spoke]

Sure, sec

So this new steam client interface, it used to have the screenshots right below the game interface (button, nice front image of the game, etc), but it's not there anymore.

[brave willow]

use your print screen button.

My issue is that I can press F12 and it will tell me that I made a screenshot

but WHERE is that screenshot even going? There's no way to open the screenshot dir anymore since this new steam interface

I also can't click the screenshot-taken-notification I get in the bottom right

nvm, I found it

It's now called post game summary? I mean wth? Just call it scrfeenshots cuz that's literally what it is

Anyway, pics of my fleet

I'll worry about that later

I just completed a battle in which an enemy group of 25 ships attacked me while I was at a trade station. This is the part of my fleet that took part in the attack + a few ships I called in to start reclaiming the newly formed ship graveyard

Every green blip is a ship of mine

Zoomed out, it shows a better view of all the ships in the star system (some are across the edge of the screen still)

and I left about a 100 or so ships in the previous star system

My latest batch of 88 nuke bombers

One of these nuke bombers is roughly the same size as the starter ship model-s

just to give you some comparison of the size. This batch of nuke bombers is smaller than the batches I usually make. But I have hundreds of ships, most are nuke bombers

[brave willow]

if they make a update where you can make your own ingame carrer faction not modding

that would be amazing since well you can lead a faction

I'm also a bit of an RTS guy 😛

Losses are heavy, so I need to replenish with fresh meat

[brave willow]

Sir query

do you just use a massssive mega freighter to support that ginormus fleet?

[young spoke]

I got 2 of these

I use compacted storages. The blue 1x1 blocks with Cu in it store 10000 copper each. I depleted almost all of my steel for the fleet I used to destroy the 25 ships of the most recent fleet engagement

So I don't need a large fleet of motherships. Only need the 2 so I can collect the resources and the storage is compact because of the compacted storages. I also build new ships using these 2 mega freighters

and the only reason I build second one is because that way I can be at 2 spots at the same time

I do have several smaller motherships but those are purely to tail my autominers when they go melt asteroids

The autominers do nothing but melt asteroids and ship wrecks

I also use specialized munitions factory ships with the sole purpose of equipping all the hundreds of ships I make

So yeah, can't wait for the carrier update to hit ^^
