Suggestion: Scuttle Selected

Ever built a mine field and after finish found that it wasn't sufficient to defend your system or you need to rearrange your turrets? I suggest a hot-key to scuttle all selected units at once. This would make it far less painful then having to press Shift+S then Tab, and doing that 50+ times for mines.

This would be kinda useful for using abilities too, if you had many ships of the same type and you wanted them all to whack one target too... by holding for example shift when you click on the unit to be targeted.

Personally one of my biggest beefs with Sins is the organisation of fleets and issuing commands to individual parts and before you say it, yes, I know, I can just make them into a control group but I feel total war's way of displaying units in battle "might" be a good way to display fleets..

 

I mean I don't know about you guys, but I have more than enough free screenspace going to waste with the lack of HUD options personally, running the game at 1080p

 

I'm just a very particular person so... maybe my ramblings are better ignored ^^

The only downside of mass scuttle would be when you accidentally press Shift + S. Would be sucky to see half your fleet be scuttled at once without being able to revert the proces in time. Believe me, lots of people have done this by accident...

Well, i have assign the "scuttle" to the "delete" button... it really speed up the process of scuttle mines...

don't need a mass scuttle... mines are grouped by 10 in the left tree... will be great that you can select one icon in the left tree ( 10 mines ) and scuttle them... after all, you build them in group too, not one by one...

That doesn't work that way. Mines are built in batches and grouped in the system icons in 10's but each mine is it's own unit thus you have to select each one individually to scuttle them.
