Re: Two questions
"The first one: there is that button "fire untill all weapons are gone" in strategies window.
Whats the use of it? if your ship has MultiTracking, then you just wasted the space. if you dont, you dont need the order."
IIRC this order means your ships will target the enemy ship till all its weapons are destroyed, then move on to the next ship (presumably coming back and destroying it when all enemy ships are weaponless). This was implemented to prevent your entire fleet going after a ship when all it has is ECM III on it vs. a ship that is still fully functional a few spaces away.

Re: Two questions
thanks. that clears it out. Useful button indeed.
I'll test it with planets, seems promising.
As for the PDC i still dont see how defensive fire is different from offensive fire in the proccess itself - targeting is still targeting, and it doesnt matter why you target - to shoot, to defend or just for fun!
CapnQ: lol yeah, i was the second or third

How's this for a rationalization: offensive PDC fire involves manually overriding the normal automated defensive targeting computer.
