| Summary | 0024808: ctrl+click for flagship to ignore orders | ||||
| Description | just a quick suggestion- stationary flagship mode lets you ctrl click to override the mode, it would be helpful if ctrl click could move ship lines while not sending a command to the flagship in a similar fashion, for more precise placement of flagships during battles. | ||||

There might be another combo that would work, but Ctrl-click is already used, for sending ships through wormholes. |
|
|
Stationary mode is already there for that, and ctrl click is the "Override" move combo that moves everything, so you'll just have to leave stationary mode on. One other thing that is possible is to make stationary mode a stance like how pursuit and all the other one is, but since ships inherit the mode of the flagship, this might be tricky. |

oh sorry i meant z click, the command that temporarily overrides the stationary mode to allow a move command- im just saying it could be inverted in regular mode, so z click commands everyone except the flagship (temporarily overriding the mode in the same way you can for stationary mode) |
|
|
stationary flagship mode- flagship does not move with normal commands but moves with z click regular flagship mode- flagship moves with the fleet but ignores move commands with z click |
|
|
z click makes total sense here. As stationary is overridden by z, normal movement is flipped to stationary by z. Having this feature would make stationary mode much more usable. |

Thanks! * Okay, stationary flagship mode. ** Historically, this means that if you are in that mode with a fleet, then all orders to that flagship are ignored, but passed to any fleet members. This is very useful! *** As part of this, you can cut through the stationary nature of your flagship by holding Z and having the flagship still follow a given order. *** HOWEVER, until now, any orders that you were to give with it in this mode that were meant to cut through after orders that were not would be in stasis forever. First change is that now those later orders are processed. ** Secondly, now for flagships in general, if you wish to hold down Z while giving an order even when it is NOT in stationary flagship mode, that order will be treated as if it is in stationary flagship mode for that order only. *** This lets you have a flagship in normal mode, but quickly exempt it from some orders that you want the rest of the fleet to keep up with. ** Additionally, since this keeps looking for more orders that are valid in general, it will find the ones that can never be blocked by stationary mode (directly), like load and unload transport orders. Previously it was possible for those to get stuck behind a bunch of ignored orders. |
