    here is what i mean… I'm in the orbital layer and want to command my aircraft and bam! over shoot and now I'm looking at a menacing rock…. or.. I'm on ground level wanting to get to that sweet spot on orbital with the green lines and… bam! I'm on the other side of the cosmos..
    if you could lock on ground- orbital and deep space for a second as you zoom in/out would make life simpler..

    WASD usually works for me. Are you scrolling to control the camera?

    tried both.. if you add lag to a overly sensitive camera….BAM! the simple fix would make the game MUCH easier to control.

    Holy balls, a triple post and caps-lock thread title.

    Take a deep breath and calm down.

    Uber is a company.

    Companies employ people.

    People usually work on weekdays.

    Today is not a weekday.


    No, you may not get an answer.

    Select all/onscreen orbitals will be a good start.

    Currently, it's the only unit type that you can't select using these hotkeys, and at the same time, it's the same unit type that stacks in one spot and there is no way to select what you need. "I need orbital fabber from that pile", dragging mouse, everything but not fabbers selected. At least with select on screen, you can select all and then remove what you don't need or select only what you need via icon menu.

    i knew i wasn't the only one! i believe with a better zoom separation that had individual selecting criteria it could be achieved
