Multi-ship selection
You can now select groups of ships. To do so either hold shift and select your ships or use the new box select by clicking and dragging the left mouse button to draw a box around the ships you would like to select. You can also now assign groups to hotkeys by pressing Ctrl + [0-9]. After a group is set you can select the group again by pressing the associated number. Other improvements to combat controls include:- Fleet-wide ship maneuvers
- Hold Ctrl to orient group waypoints towards the mouse pointer
- Hold Alt to orient group waypoints away from the mouse pointer
