Auto Load and Stacking

If you have lets say 4x high slots to put blasters in for example and are using the same ammo. Then while in space you can left click and hold down the button then stack it upon the icon on the left and so on with other like blasters using the same ammo. This way you only have to click one button to activate all weapons/blasters at the same time.

Also ,while in space, if you right click on a weapon you can select the “Auto-Load” option which is self explanatory what that will do.
Note:make sure you load the ships regular cargo bay with back up ammo to reload by. All ships that can equip ammo in cargo bay which can accommodate weapons.

Grouping Drones Tip

You may have noticed that some ships drone bays have enough space to accommodate more than just the 5x drone operation limit. This allows you to carry other types of drones lets say for example “salvage drones” to pick up goodies after you destroy an enemy.

Were you will come into problems is when you want to launch only your salvage drones for example when they are mixed with other types in the same bay.

1. So in space place your curser over a drone then right click.
2. A menu option will come up and at bottom you will see a “move drone” and another box that says “New Group”.
3. Click new group then you will be asked to give a name to the group. We are going to use “Salvage”.
4. Hit “ok” now we have a “Salvage drone Bay” and “salvage” tab options.
5. Right click your drones and a listing will appear “Select” and drag to tab they will be moved to group.
6. Now your salvage drones are separated from any others and you can launch separately.
7. Also you can better control with your “Selected item” window.

Any questions or comments as always please ask. Note do not group your offensive drones for they will not auto-attacked if grouped. All other drones can be grouped for as many as you can fit in a ships drone bay over 5x drones. And as always only 5x drones may be operated at any given time in space.
