Baron, I do use them, but its hard to tell if they work. There are so many other "priorities" and no easy way to tell in which order they apply. I just figure I should do all I can to get my ships to perform they way I want. I try to mix up the various orders in an effort to prevent the "gang rape" that usually happens and instead, get them to fire at different targets. Being a lazy SOB., I'm not likely to do proper testing to see what and how things work on the strategy screen.

In my unscientific opinion the type priorities only work when all else is equal. IE: range, weaponry etc. For instance, a base and a ship at the same range with the same weapons and of the same size (cruiser and space station). In my observation, the ships/units that are attacked are the nearest and strongest, no matter how things are set.
