What the mod does:

==================

This mod adds new quick select functionality to allow you to issue orders from either the map, bridge, or cockpit more rapidly.  By default you may quick select wings attached to the player fleet; you may also designate up to two additional fleets that you would like be able to quick select and issue orders to.  By this means you may have control of up to three separate fleets, as well as individually control wings within those fleets.

To save a fleet for later recall simply right click on the fleet leader in the map menu and you will have an option to set that fleet as either the 1st or 2nd fleet.  Selected fleet leaders will have their ship names prepended with a fleet id to make it easier to identify them later.  Once fleets have been set the interface is divided into two separate tranches:

1) Hotkeys (optional): You may assign hotkeys to recall fleet selections and issue orders, either on the map, standing on the bridge, or while flying in your cockpit. The target for these commands are always taken as the _player's current target_, while assigned ships are taken from your fleet/wing selections. Commands executed in this way are executed immediately (moved to the front of the order queue).  Enabling hotkeys requires the installation of SirNukes Pipe Server into your X4 game directory, and then launching the pipe server each time before starting X4.  This is necessary as there is no native support for adding custom hotkeys to X4.   This functionality (and consequently the Pipe Server) is optional.

2) Right click menu: You may recall quick selections and issue orders via right click menu in the map. Selections are retain
