Just tested this and can confirm that BotF seems to check for ship functions 4, 6 or 7 (command, outpost or starbase) in order to enable this feature.Callahan wrote:you must have at least 1 ship for command and control for this to work.
This probably is a semi implemented feature to let the command cruisers coordinate attacks, as said in the ship descriptions.
(...)
Outposts work for command & control.
Second: Klingon cursor becomes federation one after right clicking two or three times.
A normal left click "special" targets single ship then.
And also the changing to the federation target-cursor for the other empires (no holding of button needed / easier handling).
Good work, Callahan
That's a standard ability depending on ship stats + EPs boni and has nothing to do with the subject.Callahan wrote:Ship behavior changed.
I set some Vor'Chas on one of 3 escorts. They fragged it and then switched their disruptors on the other 2, killing them both.
On another attack on one escort and 2 cruisers, some of my ships went after the cruisers with their remaining torps and disruptors after the escorts destruction.
All my ships were "special" targeting the escort group.
Normally, my ships do not switch targets or even target groups if I set them to target one enemy manually - ship by ship.
This "semi implemented feature" does not really improve ship abilities i.e. not the subtlest difference from "manual" single target selection. So it's only a workflow simplification for players.Callahan wrote:It seems that "special" targeting increases effectiveness of the enitre group using it.
Also sometimes, when re-loading savegames, it seems to destabilize BotF w.r.t. map-range of ships.
So it could turn out as a double-edged feature.
I'm guessing the "select ship" (vs. group) option should be limited to fleets with command-ships, and this code never has been finished.
I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.

Re: Cheats, tips, hints
can anybody report/confirm any kind of experience with this possible bug of the targeting feature?Also sometimes, when re-loading savegames, it seems to destabilize BotF w.r.t. map-range of ships.
So it could turn out as a double-edged feature.
