Small question....

Is there a hotkey for having your units attack only a certain type of unit? For example, I want my fighter squadrons to attack only LRMs. Is there a button that I can press to make my fighters attack another LRM after it has destroyed the first one?

hold down shift and then right click from one unit to the next in the order that you'd like to destroy them. I'm 99% sure it's shift. It may be ctrl.

its shift

So with all of my units selected, I hold down shift and I manually click -each- ship I want destroyed next?

Yep.  You can also use it to make a scout run around in circles in a grav well.  Its funny to see the early game AI (before SC) try to chase it around.

You are quite welcome.

Sorry again, but I see shift ques up -one- more target, but is there another key that selects a target of all the same type instead of manually shift and selecting my next targets. Example: I want fighters to attack all of the LRMs in the well. Do I have to shift and select each one of the enemy ships, or can I press a different key and it targets all of the enemy ships of that type.

Nope, its been asked for, we are yet to see if the Devs have taken heed. Maybe in Diplomacy
