Squadrons in general kind of need some help, or I do. Or both.
I can't load squadrons as squadrons into dropships/warships with fighter bays. This wouldn't be a problem except I can't figure out how to form groups of individual fighters into squadrons after launch- there's a "join squadron" option that's persistently greyed out so I think that one's on me. There's a "load" option for fighters that lets you select other fighters but it doesn't seem to work.
Oh, and the bay launch dialogue doesn't have a scroll bar, so for certain designs with large amounts of units in a single bay (cough cough Thera) the launch window becomes taller than the screen. Fortunately that one can be dealt with by checking off some fighters and then hitting tab and enter repeatedly, it will cycle through the rest of the fighters without checking them and gets to "OK" before "Cancel".
However, most of that other stuff I can work around to a limited extent (designate squadrons to enter before certain turns for instance). But the scenario I want to run involves a Thera, and I'm not crazy enough to run a Thera with individual fighters instead of squadrons at all.
