noname19 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Currently, I know only one way to send aircrafts to an area. That is to order them to go after another target (therefore the target has to be present, like alien base you haven't destroyed yet) and when they are in the air, manualy alter their destination. That solution is clumsy at best. In addition, what could be concidered a bug is that you can't send your fighters exactly where some alien manifestation occurs (abductions, naval ship bombarded, UFO sighted, etc) - you have to click with the altered destination nearby, or it won't work. Probably the easiest way to do it is using RMB which ATM doesn't do anything else then LMB. RMB -> select aircrafts to patrol this location. Easy, fast, minimal imput from players side.

thothkins Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 what about the launch interceptor button? It's on the opposite side to build new base. That should enable you to just select any target and go and patrol it if you want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noname19 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 ... no comment. Missed it completely. Which, on the other hand, isn't good. But hey, we are getting new UI anyway so that may be an issue going away very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 if it makes you feel better I spend some time muttering about not being able to find the Build New Base button, opposite the one you were looking for, following a UI update.

noname19 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Yes, I was looking for that one too, but I found it almost by accident. Should have realized send interceptors will be similar. All in all, this topic is useless, I would still like to have some use for RMB, but there is no missing missing send interceptors button.

thothkins Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 You never know. this thread could have helped dozens of Xenonaut players out there, wondering where that button was. Think of all those alien bases now being located. Think of the countless Xenonaut-Earths your question has helped to save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
