How to I select multiple ships at once?

You can add them to a fleet. Then they all work together.
Select one ship, and then click the 'Fleet Transfer' button, it has 4 ships and a +, (Or 'F' key), then click 'Create Fleet', and add the ships.

Ok I see how to fleet them. I couldn't see it before. Thanks.

Hold down the shift key and click on them.

Dam, Will beat me.
There is an 'Add All' button in the fleet window, so it is quick to add them all.

Yes this is something to work on for the next patch i would say.

Why? It works nicely as it is now. You want ships to be together, fleet them. You don't want them to be together, don't fleet them. I believe that "ctrl + a" selects all the ships in a sector when you are on the main screen. Now, what would be cool would be adding a way to fleet fleets. So instead of them being fleets, they would be squadrons (or something). Then, you would make fleets by grouping together squadrons.

You know thats a great idea - id like to send in seperate fleets to attack a target at once without needing to have then in a single massive fleet - the squadren idea is good. As would be being able to "lend for x amount of terms to an ally" specifc squadrons to attack an enemy on their other frontier or perhaps able to rent fleets from an ally - some ideas to work with that could be used to expand the game in many ways.
