Fly and Don't Wait
I would like it if we had a "Fly to" command which when they reach the destination, instead of waiting uselessly in space, they go on to their default behavior.
Re: Fly and Don't Wait
If I ever make a mod for X4, I think it would be to split the 'fly to' and 'dock at' commands to distinguish between whether or not to switch back to default behavior or not.

Re: Fly and Don't Wait
Why would you want to send a ship to 'fly and wait' at a destination only to automatically fly straight back to where it came from and resume it's duties? Whatever they may be. And if there isn't a default behavior set for that particular ship, it would default to 'waiting uselessly in space' anyway.
Perhaps what you are after is maybe a 'global orders' option for ships without a set 'default behavior' to either 'stop and wait', 'defend position', 'explore', or whatever.

Re: Fly and Don't Wait
There are times I want a ship to fly to a particular location and not wait afterwards. Mostly it is when I want to uncover a particular location for example, and then have it immediately resume its previous default behavior.H34Dru5H wrote: ↑Sun, 28.

Re: Fly and Don't Wait
You could give the ship an explore sector or explore gate command. Or maybe just drop a satelite whereby the ship will fly there, drop a sat and then return to it's original default behavior. I don't think you can command a ship to fly to a position and expect it to do something other than wait unless you tell it to do something when it gets there.

Re: Fly and Don't Wait
I have sometimes also wanted a 'fly and not wait' type command before. Probably the best work around currently available is to issue a 'collect drops' command and hope there are no drops around. Very much what H34Dru5H is suggesting but you're likely not wanting to explore an entire section or use a satellite.
Re: Fly and Don't Wait
Comparatively, I tend to use Attack area to:
1. clear off the wait commands
2. clear off infinite wait commands of auxiliary on bugged capital ship not undocking with after replenish
3. clear off infinite wait commands of auxiliary on bugged capital ship not docking with auxiliary(bugged ship has no orders visible! It's a lottery to try them all out)
If only the Auxiliary has wait for signal:ABC-123 instead of 1 hour critical wait.
