How to skip ship?

[Vasiliy]

Hi

Main problem for me in SEIV Gold is to loop thru all my ships with "Next Ship" button.
How I can no select the certain ship again and again? In Civilisation I use Space for to leave unit until next turn.

Thanks

You can select the ship you want from the ships/units list (F6). You might want to rename the particular ship to find it easier in the list.

If you are playing a simultaneous movement game, you can order the ship to move into the same sector it is in.

I want to check all my ships which have the action points in this turn.

To skip certain ships when looping through your ships using the "next ship" button, you can put the ships you don't want on Sentry.

If I make it Sentry it will be skipped on next turns too. And you can not make ship Sentry if enemy is near.

There is an option under Empire Status / Options under Next/Previous for stopping at each location only once.

Also you can "move to" your current location. It uses no supplies, but now the ship has an order and will be skipped on the Next/Previous command.

I see you are the expert.

I wouldn't call myself an expert. Just trying to be helpful.

Welcome to the forums and SE4. Keep at it and you will be hooked.

Sorry, not sure what's wrong with that option. I know the second method works.

I think what that option means is, when you have more than one ship in the same sector, it will not select through each of the ships separately when you click the 'next ship' button.

Vasiliy - next game you play try, "Simultaneous Movement". This is itself makes the game harder because you can't control each ship in combat. All PBW games are simultaneous too, another good reason to play this way. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

You can not tell a ship to move to its current sector in turn-based movement games, because they move instantly, so the order disappears.

This is what happens when you don't read every single post before posting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
