Select fleet / select port (Small)

Postby William one eye » Sat Jan 20, 2018 4:02 pm

I am suggesting a 2 column page for moving multiple fleets not on an active trade routes.

This is not for trade routes,
This is for fleets with no routes or paused routes

In the first column you select a fleet, in the second column you select the port you want that fleet to travel to.

Page would have these features

Checkbox for danger halt
If danger halt is selected the fleet will not depart for the selected port until the danger is gone this includes a selected fleet that is moving and receives a secondary destination.

For fleets containing ships that do not have enough crew.
Checkbox auto assign crew minimum on send order
Checkbox auto assign crew maximum on send order

For fleet containing damagesd ships
Checkbox for auto repair on send order

Column 1

Check box for
Stopped fleets. Moving fleets. All fleets

Drop down menu with fleets selected above

Drop down menu with fleets selected above

Repeat as many more that will comfortably fit on a sceen


Column 2 across from column 1

Drop down menu to select port

Drop down menu to select port

Repeate for each fleet selected you can select a port.

Then a send fleets button at the bottom



Fleets that are already moving will have to reach the port first before moving to the next assigned port.

edit - adding sample of possible page layout

Why have danger halt? This sounds like a one way trip. Wouldn't the ships stop once they reach their destination.

Don't know, seem just like a more unnecessary complicated version of my suggestion.

This is not for trade routes,
This is for fleets with no routes or paused routes.

If danger halt is selected the fleet will not move until the danger is gone. That is useful for many reasons

Your suggestion seemed to be a way of moving trade routes and does not add anything useful and infact makes changing trade routes more complicated. If i am incorrect and you are trying to move fleets not on a trade route. This does anything you might want.

Ok that makes, sense. Can you include that in the original post?
