Launching units

Submitted by GrandAdmiralZink on Fri, 2007-08-31 07:19. Space Empires V General

I have the reoccuring problem that whenever I launch something from a ship, I launch everything or nothing.

Say, I have a ship fittet to launch an engine-destroying drone at at fleeing enemy vessel so I can board it.

In the launch units window, I can select how many drones to launch, and select 1. Then as soon as I exit the window and start the clock, the ship launches ALL drones + all other units that might be in the cargohold, fighters, mines, sattelites etc.

So, my question is:

Is it supposed to be like this, or is it a bug? Am I doing something in the wrong way?

Looks like a bug. What version and mod ver are you playing?

Sounds similar to a problem I had when I first got the game.

Have you checked the strategy you are using?
Most have "Launch All Units During Combat" set to True, and so ships/bases will launch all their units at the start of battle, regardless of orders you give them.

No, I haven't come across that so that might be it!

How do I set this?

You can set a new stratgie, or just change your most used stratgie. You find this in the empire setting window (the little crown). Scroll down and you'll find all your normal stratgies.

SEV, more than a feeling.
