Quickie Question About New Commander Interface

<div class="IPBDescription">specifically SHIFT selecting</div> Hi there,
I just had a quick question: I've read about all the cool new additions to the commander interface and keys and they made me very very happy <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Finally I'll be able to do commanding like in *craft Ao* etc. However, the one of my main issues with the current interface is that I can't SHIFT-select and unselect marines (a-la C&C and Starcraft) - which is something I do constantly in strategy games so its a hard habit to loose. Will this be implemented as well?

Thanks!

    I hope this silliness is really just bumps in disguise, because I am curious as well.

    as opposed to these spam bots:

    I believe that this was covered (one way or another) in a previous thread

    I apologize that I am to tired but it was in the general forum and was started by Flay, so you could go poke around <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I believe Flayra has stated that he wants the commander interface to meet current RTS interface standards of which shift-select is one of them. If it's not in, I'm sure he has a pretty good reason.

    Needs some key (like alt) to show all the health circles and ammo supply (mana). Frozen throne has it, NS must too!!!!!

    edit: or save it for the NS expansion

    I haven't read anything (official or otherwise) which suggests that this is in the works, although I sure as hell hope it is (that and a left-click interface! <a href='http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/2142895.jpg' target='_blank'>C&C forever!</a>)

    Yeah, Shift and Ctrl Deselecting are probably just as important as Shift and Ctrl Selecting. Gotta be able to edit those command groups.

    Also, I vote against flying lerk scorpions and propose that gigantic freaking spider behind the clock. I know you've all seen the picture.

    Now then...let me see here. For one...Stop spamming..bad monkies. Two, yes, they are setting up grouping for 1.01 so we should be able to really play with it when it's released. It's also going to tell our marines which group they are in too. Should be very helpful. What else...hhmmm oh yes...stop camparing it to War 3 or bringing up ideas from it. That falls unnder the good idea bad idea set up. bugs will get fixed...things will be added...all in time. now go kill something and wait for our PT's to finish with 1.01

    The health and the names are shown constantly...
    ammo supply as a second red circle would be nice , though...

    Oh, and it's 1.1 not 1.01 <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> You should be the one to know as you have signed in 10.02 already <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
