Summary0002942: Assigning allied ships to a control group places them in the ally's control group.
Description(This can be turned into an edit of bug 0002894, but I don't have the permissions for that, and it's more properly a bug than a feature request.)

When allied control of ships is turned on, placing an ally's ships into a control group does not work. Instead of the ships appearing in your control group, as expected, they are added to the control group of the ships' owner.

* Previously, when a player was controlling an ally's ships and tried to put that ship into a control group, it would add it to the ally's control group instead of the local player's control group. Having cross-player control groups is not possible without really expanding the control group data structure, which doesn't seem like a good idea to do at the present time, so for the time being allied ships simply won't go into control groups if a player tries to put them in there, at least cutting out the worst of the confusion.
