Is there a way to select all bombers?

Is there a way to select all bombers or fighters in a gravity well?  Its hard rounding them up to order them to attack specific targets.  Right now I send them all away from the fleet, select them all, and ctrl-# them, so whenever I press that # I select them.  Kind of a pain though when you add more ships with more bombers and have to keep redoing it.

Alt + click on them.

You can also edit your settings file and change the stacking limit (which is by default 10)...set this number to 10,000 (essentially infinite) and all units of a given type will be grouped under one icon in the empire tree (as opposed to one icon for each group of 10)...

In this manner, you can select all of any unit with just one click...a nice thing to be able to do if you aren't up for using keyboard shortcuts....

Does this change checksum...?

No...it is your settings file, the same file that is used by the game to "remember" your other settings like graphics, resolution, and all those things in the option menus...

Some of the settings cannot be changed in-game, but can be changed in the settings file...I always change the stacking limit to a very large number...I also enable error logging and disable the intro movie (which is then replaced by much faster loading splash screens)....
