Total Noob Question...

Submitted by AerionIstari on Fri, 2007-11-23 09:14. Space Empires V General

I know I must be missing something really obvious, BUT...

How can I give a ship a movement order to a place in a different system? So far the only thing I've figured out is to "move to" a warp point and warp, then "move to" the next warp point in the new system. There HAS to be an easier way!!

‹ Too Funny Ground Combat Choppy, and long AI turns. Fixable? ›

I ususally just click the move button then click the system i want to go to and the spot in the system, and the ship goes there auto warping as it goes. If the system is unexplored then i click the warp button and then click the entrance warp hole to the system in question. hope that helps

Ok, that worked. I tried that before but it didn't appear to work. I must not have been holding my mouth right! Thanks for the reply!!

You CLICK the move and warp buttons? For god's sake, use the keyboard shortcuts! You'll see, that will really improve your game experience.

Or at least, right-click context menu~

Though yeah, in my case I customised the keyboard shortcuts so I never would have to reach for the right-side of the keyboard (time taken to move hand from mouse to keyboard and back).

What about your other hand? Smiling
SEV is not Diablo 2... so I didn't change most of the shortcuts, only regrouped some of them, like the load/drop/recover orders.

I may not be in a position to look at my keyboard when I'm using my laptop. It happens when you touchtype on a non-default keyboard (i.e. attached by USB) while lying down in bed, with the laptop on an over-bed table.

Time taken to move my left hand over to the other side of the keyboard and find a key is painstakingly long in such situations.

My mouse has far too many buttons.

Thus, the forward/back buttons on it, which are program-selectable input, are now 'move' and 'warp'. This one change has drastically improved my game speed Eye-wink

Hahaha, nice. Though for me, if I had such luxury I'd be programming "Load/Drop cargo at..." as my first shortcuts.

If you optimize your keyboard shortcuts for the fastest experience possible you still will have long turn times Eye-wink

Groovy Baby Yeah!
