Fleet Home Base - How to Assign

Post by OJsDad »

How do we change the Home Base that a fleet is assigned to. I have found no way to do this.

Thanks

- Zoom to the wanted home base
- Select the fleet
- Right click on the wanted home base, which will open a window in which you select assign home base

There is another method but I don't use it and don't remember how to do

Nope, all that does is to send the selected fleet to that planet with an order to refuel.

holding right click should open an orders menu for the target you clicked on.
or hold CTRL and rightclick, that also should give you the menu i think.

Thank you Lunali. Some of us were missing the fact you could hold down the right mouse button and open a menu.

Theres an even better part to this, they forgot to add the "travel back to home base" button which DW1 had. So you now have to manually through fleet or otherwise find the base and then find your fleet again and manually click to send the fleet
