Can I change the auto settings for multiple ships at once?

[James80]

Hey everyone,

I have a lot of escorts and I want to set them all at once to auto-patrol? How can I do it?

Thanks

And P.S.: What does auto-patrol do?

If you want that specific automation setting, you unfortunately can't set them all at once. You have to click each ship, then cycle the automation setting to auto-patrol. You can use '=' on the keyboard if you don't want to click so much.

If full automation is good enough, you can put all the ships in a fleet, automate the fleet, then disband it. That will leave all the individual ships automated.
