That's a bit of a hole. *adds it to the to-do list* (Uh, also, the server throws a HTTP 500 error if you post without being logged in and without filling in the fields... wtf. ) That reminds me, I really need to find/make a comments RSS feed too.

Strike wings are basically considered weapons on a ship (they even fall into their own module slots on a ship), and are automatically deployed against ship's current target (if I get the launch code right, ever). There is only a "recall strike wings" command that cause every ship in the select unit (again, units are not implemented yet) to recall the launched strike crafts, which will make a combat landing. since the dock code is not in yet, implementing it recall will just cause the strike craft carrying ship to die a horrible, horrible death.

That circle of icons are the move menu, they are, from 2’O clock, clockwise: Maintain distance Maintain orientation Ram Strafe / pursuit Accelerate Orbit The Icon at the center is the menu con for the move menu. Basically, once you select some objects, the first tier menu icons pops up on the screen. When you select one of them, the other menu icons vanishes and the command icons appear around the icon you selected. There are currently two major things I have to add, first is that making sure a player could only select his or her own units. because selecting a lot of enemy units and assigning a command to them doesn’t do much, second is that the interface should automatically generate context-sensitive move commands when double-right click empty space.
