Oh, and does anyone know what the Attack order actually DOES? As far as I can tell it's just another Move button.

In Simultaneous games (PBW), the attack order is 'seek after'. So if you tell your ships to 'attack' an enemy ship/fleet, your ships will follow those ships until combat, whereas the move command would just move your ships to the sector where the enemy ships were at that time, and won't take into account if the enemy ships move.
Also, if you are attacking a stack of planets with a fleet containing troop transports, only one planet will be taken, and the rest glassed (or at least, I can't seem to get my fleets to *take* all the planets), the attack order will let you specify which planet to take, rather than just relying on luck or some unknown game mechanic.
Hope that helped.
