Default SW3D: One button to rule them all: Battle formation

Hey Guys,

A penny for your thoughts.

I'm looking for some ideas on how to complete my battle formation routine in fewest actions, ideally only one key pressed if possible by scripting.

My battle formation routine is:
  1. All fighters undocked from Mothership [CTRL + Z]
  2. All fighters in same team (With tactics set if possible)
  3. Set team to defend Mothership [E + LMB] / [RLM]

Do you have any ideas on how to complete all these actions using only keyboard?

My concern is is the lack of ability to group all fighters into one team and escort the mothership. The only way I found is to pull all pilot icons, one by one I might add, on to the team leader and then right-click the mothership.

Something simple like [CRL+A, CTRL+1] to assemble team, would have changed the world for me. Couldn't they at least just get in to the same formation as they were when they docked? eg. Team up and escort Mothership?

So, I thought why not script my self out of this problem with my new Logitech G13 game pad; that is, if only I could script the mouse movements of the agonizing pull-each-pilot-to-team-leader routine.

Any experience executing mouse commands using some sort of script? (Click, move, release, etc.)
