ships that have been ordered to go to another ship upon building

from Sins Forums
will tend to continiue to keep phase jumping to the next system even if the escorted ship has already phased jumped back to the first system.

even if both ships enter the same system at the same time

ie

if ships are being built in a and the escorted ships in c and both phase jump into b and reach the system at the sametime or sometimes even if the escorted ship has already reached b in front of the escorting ship

the built ships will phase jump to c

So you're saying that the new ships go to where the rally target was at the time they were completed, rather than where it is *now* (if that's a different place).

Did the newly built ship then plot a new course to its target after it arrived at C?

I am lost..... so when ships are built you can pre-set a rally point at another planet and they will go there? I never knew that existed in this game, it would be cool

Just select the planet and right click on a planet, ship, or location in the local gravity well, and the ships built at the selected planet will go there. Or even better, set the rally point to a ship in a Ctrl-group, and the newly built ships will automatically join that group.

yes

do these ships in groups act as groups or like when you just rally on a ship

I am really hoping this can be changed to just join the group as long as it exists, so that if that first ship gets blown up, your rally point to a ctrl group isn't nullified. In a big game you may have many star systems rallying to a ctrl group (at least I do).
