I am actually beginning to think that my extensive experience with Harpoon is a detriment. Command is just close enough to the game play of Harpoon 3 that I frequently make assumptions about how to do something, get frustrated, rage quit, go back and read the manual or check the forum, have an "ah-ha" moment, realize the Command way is actually a good way to do it.
Great example is formation editing. At first I thought the development team must be crazy. Now that I have used ref points to build formations, it all makes sense now. There are at least a dozen items like that.

There are two primary ways to work with formations. The INTERNAL way is using the Formation Editor. The EXTERNAL way is using Fixed/Relative RPs and Missions. External is a bit more complicated but more flexible in my mind.

I like the external RP setup for formation patrols, but the map gets
really cluttered if you have multiple ones in the same area. Lotsa little X's floating about.
