Default Re: OT: Bug versus Feature

Nice idea and with Move-To, quite moddable (including bypassing mines). The idea of giving delayed-information reports saying what was there when they were is cool, but probably way too much work for MM to patch in just for this. Maybe if we get dated system information at some point.

Another major point is that no one suggesting move-to has suggested Clear Orders - units whose orders can't be cleared are certainly a lot less flexible than ships.

An additional restriction might be that the only way to give a drone an (non-attack? or all?) order would be if in the same sector as a friendly ship/base/colony - this would mean you could use move-to for exploration (especially if you could use the Explore order and stack it or set it to repeat), but drones would have to return to a friendly location to get new move orders.
