How do you find damaged ships?

Post by RogerBacon »

I'm watching some playthrough of DWU and I'm learning ther are a lot of commands and controls that I didn't know about. For example, I almost never use the selection list of the left side of the screen. So I'm just wondering if there is some quick way to find your damaged ships that I might have missed. Also, same question for ships that are out of fuel.

to find damaged ships I use this method:

press F11 to open the "Ships and Bases" screen.

select "Military Ships" or any other sub-screen.

the damaged ships or stations are in Red color.

I do not use so much the selection list on the left of the screen, anyway clicking Military Ships you can see the "Fuel Status" of each ship.

And once you've selected them on the "Ships and Bases" screen you can use the same screen to tell them to repair.
