So far, the changes in how carriers and supers use fighters has been a huge improvement, at least in my opinion. It's actually pretty fun to micro your fighter flights in a pseudo RTS style. That being said, it would be a huge improvement in QoL and control if we could select flights of fighters with the horizontal number keys on our keyboard. So 1 - 3 would select the various flights for a carrier, and 1 - 5 would select the various flights for a super.

It would just enable a lot more precise control and cut down on the clicking that EVE is already full of.

I'm sure this has been brought up before and I'm not sure if this is already a planned feature, but after I brought this up in coms earlier, people agreed this would be very nice to have.

I was wondering if any devs had seen this topic or if any players had any sort of feedback or opinions on the idea. Cheers! o7

Key press or click, there really isn't a difference. Personally, I'd rather they stick with the click. Keeps people like me from simply setting keyboard macros.

I take it you haven't gone up against a fleet that knows what they are doing then? unless you have several of them together or take a small group by surprise they are useless
