<t> The little =>>> seems to float about, so I am to assume tha all below my ship are under my command? But I can give any orders (at least nav points, escort, etc) BEFORE the mission, but not after? The crusiers and carriers accept my orders before but not during? Does that make sense? And when the ...

<t> I have not figured out how the giving order system works. How do you know if you are in command of a ship other than the one you are driving? I can give my ENTIRE package orders BEFORE the mission starts: I can apparently order crusiers and carriers to circle around anywhere in the sector at my ...

Thanks.

Also, the mission starts without launch sequence, even tho flying start is NOT enabled. It also seems to put you thru the ...

<t>Microsoft is no longer shipping the Indeo codecs with Windows XP, and Ligos wants $14.95 for the codec. I think they must have a death wish, and I'm going to find out about shorting their stock tomorrow. I'm not sure if this is required for anything except the intro movies, if it were, there ...
