adding ships to fleets (Small)

It would be great if I could add 5 ships to a fleet at once, rather than using the drop-down menu 5 times. So somehow you would use the menu and put a check mark next to the 5 ships you want to add to the fleet.

In my opinion this only serves to speed up an already easy task at hand, and although this would be nice, it may conflict with captain counts. What would decide what wouldnt be added based on insufficient officers when doing the mass selection? Also, when creating a new fleet, you see EVERY drydocked ship, even at different ports. This menu could be overcomplicated despite its intended use.
Looking at the positives, if you are a returning merchant from piracy, this could be useful when putting fresh ships from the market into a fleet. This could cut down time in building up fleets significantly. You may even be able to use the menu to find where all docked ships are faster than looking in “ships with no fleet” tab at market.
Honestly i am unsure about how this could go. This could push this game into a click click game instead of an actual thought game, where every click requires some sort of thinking, whereas this allows one click to do much more work systematically.
I vote disapprove. I see this as only useful to returning merchants as most build their fleets one at a time instead of in mass and fast buildup. It would be like bigtea coming back and building at the speed of a fifth in which would speed up fleet buildup by 80% from the system at the most. For how fast that buildup is, that could be very OP for the intended use.

This is a simple yet good suggestion.
Setting up a fleet should be a simple and straight forward task. Having to select from a dropdown and click for each ship added is very rudimentary and time consuming. Allowing multi-select from available ships to add to a fleet in a single transaction should be available.
I vote approved.

Someone suggested a way for people to make fleet ship set up, I don't remember who.

This has my support. On a desk-top multi-clicking is dull but managable. On a phone its tedious and involves as much zooming as it does clicking.

I have too many tablets to worry about already...

No downside really, just making the game smoother and less tedious.

+1, I have also experienced the pain of doing this and would love for it to be more streamlined.
