Ya know... I hear what you are saying. I recall having to re-center the view when I have it on 'Auto' because, like you, I want to see *both* sides of the conflict and not just my ships firing off the screen.

But when I'm on manual, I don't think it works. Because I know for a fact that even though that option is turned on, I have to keep moving the display so I can tell my transport ship to move to the planet.

I sure wish they would alter the AI with some sort of toggle so that they stop firing individual weapons themselves when you get close to destroying all the WEP's on a planet... GRRR! I hate when I forget to switch to manual, and my ships start destroying tons and tons of facilities on a planet I've brought in troops to invade with.
