Maintaining formation and other whines

[raynor]

How many of you use this particular tactic?

I'll just use 'AUTO' and leave my ships in formation while they destroy the enemy ships and any defences. Then, I'll click ORDERS->Clear all group Formations.

Next, I'll select my transport hiding in the corner, and click ORDERS->Set Group Leader and choose any old group and formation.

The advantage of this is that when I press 'E' on the keyboard for End Turn, it will automatically select the transport instead of the leader of the group of warships that bombed the planet. This makes it much, much easier for me to move the transport in and drop troops on the planet.

Now, if they would just make the view shift so that the ship is *always* in the center...

(Err.. Change tactic above to read trick/method)
