Right now changing automation settings on ships must be done on an individual basis. If I want for example to automate all ships in a fleet without automating the fleet itself I would have to go through every individual ship and either press the UI button or use the Hotkey for automation toggling 4-5 times to get to fully automated setting. This is something I do so that the ships start collecting scrap and carcasses without me having to micromanage.
I wish for a way to Fully Automate all selected ships with one button press. Preferably through a hotkey. I seem to remember DS 1 had this feature.
Example of dream situation: My manually controlled fleet just killed a few pirates and I want to secure the salvage - I then box-select all or some ships and press a hotkey and they are now automated and will proceed collecting my stuff and the fleet is still in manual and will stay put per my ship/fleet settings.
