Mysterious joint on command points
« on: January 29, 2013, 06:37:12 AM »

This is what I'm talking about:


It only appears when the map is open and has an obvious function for fleet points. But why could this little joint also be there for command points? Just an oversight? Or maybe there is something planned for those CPs we don't know about...

... strategical orders? Orders that consume multiple command points? Complex fleet movements outside the combat border? Something completely different?

Who has an idea what this could be about? :)

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

Isnt that where the "Open com channel" thing pops up after you have issued a command? That might be it.

I think that is where the "Standing Orders" button used to go before it was removed; the UI just hasn't been changed to reflect that.
