Movement

from Sins Forums
I wnated to know if there was a way to get all ships to phase jump at the same time. I find it anoying when i tell them to go through 3 or 4 planets and half get there way befor the others this is can be a problem when attacking.

Select all the ships you want to jump then right click the move button to activate "Group Phase Jumping" until it says "ALL GROUPED". You should see three green arrows.

I noticed no matter what I do the colony ships always stay behind... Even with a grouped jump, it that supposed to happen?

There is a BIG problem with this your capital ships don't wait for your frigates so it ends up jumping alone.

What bothers me is when one or two capital ships go before everyone else when your attacking a home workd that gets painfull.

Ok this makes no sense when just moving araound the galaxy they all wait for each other but when attacking the capital ships go when ever they get ready talk about backwards.

I believe the description of the behavior is group phase jump, though i think there is a way to mamke them move as a unit during normal movment but its currently bugged.

this might be because when you're right clicking on an enemy colony to phase jump you're issuing an attack order, not a move order.

No, what's worse is when your frigates jump through one or two at a time and get mowed apart by enemy ships. Then when you realise whats going on all your ships have gone....

Colony ships are liabilities because they are targetted first! Altough when the enemy is about to be wiped I jump one in to have em go for it and get torn to bits

Yes unfortunately this is corect if you use the move icon instead of right clicking they will all move together....sigh
