hmmm , works for me

just select the ships you want to add and then hold shift and then press the number you want.

try when only having selected the ships you want to add...
it's different than most other rts, because in most of those you have the following:

select a ship, shift+group number -> you now have the ship selected and additionally the group as well, though the group still doesn't have the ship in it, you would need to redefine the group (strg+number) to change it.

in sins it's rather:

select a ship, shift+group number -> ship is added to group, though you still only have the ship selected, if you want to have the full group selected you now have to press the group number...

i guess they should have an option to use the behavior most other rts are using as well... i kind of confuse that quite often as well, so instead of having 2 groups selected i end up redefining both groups, so they are completely different from what i expected...

It follows the same convention as games like Warcraft 3. Shift select is correct for adding it to the control group but only after you have created a control group to add them to. We are also looking to add some other handy keyboard shortcuts for control groups in a later version.
