I don't mind handing somebody some toilet paper... but I draw the line at wiping their arse for them.

Yes, but at the same time this game is a fairly jarring removal from the norm I'm used to. You might think of it as ...

Does your dismissal of my other questions regarding command and control means that I can't save ...

Yes. You can try various forms of communications. As leader of destroyer squadron (you can lead it even from squad's frigate), you can use mouse & menus for issuing orders. If you don't know how to do that, replay last tutorial mission ...

<t> I'm not blaming the game's programming, aside from its sometimes-atrocious AI.&nbsp; If I wanted to stay a fighter pilot, for instance, there'd be nothing I could do aside from reloading a savegame and trying to save my allied capital ships, since I wouldn't be able to command them directly (and ...

<t> I decided after a hiatus to give this game another try, after getting very frustrated with it. It seems that the frustrations are still there. <br/>
<br/>
I thought it would be real fun to get into the bridge of a capital ship after I accumulated enough points from fighter combat, but ...

<r> Okay, I realize that this version is significantly better than its 1.0 incarnation, but there are still some vital features I believe should not have been overlooked upon the revamping to 2.0. Stuff like this might be forgiven on a budget title, but having paid 40+ good dollars out of my pocket ...

<t> Apparently you can command other ships while in your orbit cam mode by left clicking on them and right clicking on the screen, but I can't do this as a Lt. Commander; I can only radio other starships who really don't seem to follow my suggestions, and for some reason I can't use the number keys ...

<t> So I have to keep further away than 10 KM from a Broadsword to intercept its torpedoes?&nbsp; That's one tip. <br/>
<br/>
Has anyone made a vid showing how to maneuver a destroyer/frigate best to intercept fighters and torpedoes?&nbsp; Youtube doesn't like this game, apparently. <br/>
</t>

<r> I might try your editor suggestion, if I weren't so allergic to programming in general. <br/>
<br/>
But what's real funny is that I've had PDBs fire on nearby fighters who are attacking somebody else, while completely ignoring a Broadside's torpedoes heading <I><s>[i]</s>right my way<e>[/i]</e ...

<t> Thanks for your prompt reply, but I guess I should have been more specific.&nbsp; So I can't intercept the missiles fired by fighter-type craft? That sucks. <br/>
<br/>
Still, can you help me with getting my PDBs to target the drones fired by Broadsword-class destroyers and the like? I've done ...

<t> Okay, having gone far enough in this nice game to get to Lieutenant Commander, I was excited to be commanding a frigate-class ship, only to discover to my horror at just how fragile they are when pelted with anti-ship missiles, whatever the source. <br/>

I've tried everything I can to ...

<t> I'm having much the same problem, actually. When I installed 5.01, then 5.02, I could no longer play any mission that involved assaulting or escorting an yelement with a name (such as blowing up SAMs, assaulting destroyers, escorting freighters/shuttles, etc.).&nbsp; I haven't tried 5.01 by ...
