Can we get a proper fleet combat interface that allows to assign targets to fire controls on an entire fleet instead of having to cycle through each individual ship?
My idea involves fire controls getting set to a fleet fire control channel. These channels then manage all fire controls assigned to them, so you might have a "Beams" channel, a "Beam PD," a "Missile PD", or a "Missile" channel.
Assigning targets (Multiple selection allowed) to a channel means all fire controls will fire on those selected targets.
Channels could have various options, max salvos in flight, max salvos per target in flight, focus fire, spread fire, point defense availability
Target selection would be inherited if a lower formation doesn't override it. So if the channel "Missile" of 1st Fleet targets the enemy battleships, the channel "Missile" of 2nd Squadron of 1st fleet can target an escort, then the Squadron will fire at the escort until it is destroyed, then will switch to the battleships set by the Fleet wide level.
All this would make handling large battles much easier. I don't see anyone having fun assigning each fighter a target when a hundred fighters clash with another hundred.
