fleet command block

[NightFury76]

A block or blocks to issue fleet commands with logic. Each block needs to have a fleet signature set in it just like the faction block.

The block will flash like the button block to indicate the fleet command has been issued.

I guess an extension to this is a fleet status block too, but lets get the first bit done first.

First, you need to be able to input multiple bits per block – or many many blocks for different commands.
Secondly you may want to process signals in a receiving ship.

Cx = command blocks – input bits for command-code.
FB = Fleet block, enter fleet sig_nature.
Ax = activation blocks – which receive signals
A4+ = use them to verify signal manually before forwarding it to Cx Blocks.

FB A0 A1 A2 A3 → A4+
C0_/ . |. |. |
C1____/ . |. |
C2_______/ . |
C3__________/. Simple, effective.
​

In this example, you enter multiple bits by making a line (similar to gates, but it has 2 ends with one being the fleet-block).
A0, A1 … could be a parallel link shared on all ships or individually setup with wireless logic blocks.

Or just use a fleet command block to access a menu (Like the faction block) that can give you an RTS-style overview of fleets and their present operations, along with the ability to order them around.

Exactly what i currently thought of. I just wanted to post a feature request. I am new to Starmade and just building a serious mining fleet and thought of how nice it would be if i could just launch the mining drones off with one button and they instantly start mining. awwww that would be great :D
