Re: blockade............
Today I have a blockade question.
In one of my solo games, a lone ship orbiting a planet just mutinied.
Is there a way to order the weapon platforms on the planet to attack the blockading ship on my turn, or do I have to wait until the blockading ship attacks on the AI's turn?

All this "my turn" and "AI's turn" talk makes me think you are playing turn-based?
I don't play that, but you could always *try*
clicking on your planet and clicking the Attack button and clicking on the ship. You might get lucky. If the Attack button does not light up when you click the planet, you can try to fudge it by hitting the 'A' key...heh. Good luck.

Re: blockade............
You could try launching a few sats or something, see what happens..? Failing that, you'll just have to bring in ship or some fighters from a nearby planet.

Re: blockade............
Yep, it's turn-based, and the Attack order was the first thing I tried. It's a "frontier" planet, the nearest loyal ship is two or three turns' movement away. The planet doesn't have anything launchable in cargo.
Guess I have to let the mutineers come to me.

Hmmm The ships I had that broke formation where just little frigites armed with Missles and Depleated Uranium cannons??? |

It would be best if it were ships using the 'don't get hurt' strategy which broke formation. Some ships which are supposed to run away might need a PDC or two, like carriers and troop transports, and currently putting that in makes them stay in fleet formation.  |

Does PDC really do this? |
