Giving an order, then overwriting that order with a 2nd consumes a command point
« on: February 26, 2012, 04:29:01 PM »
Hope this isn't a duplicate; though it seems obvious enough to have already been reported.

1) Give an order (e.g. capture objective A). Consumes 1 CP.
2) Give a 2nd order (e.g. patrol objective A). Consumes 1 CP. (does not refund the CP used in 1)

As commands can be cancel for free if doing so before leaving the command screen, it seems logical that overwriting a command that was still refundable should not consume an additional command point.

Hi - hmm. I think I see what you're saying - but the points only get refunded if you haven't unpaused, not if you haven't left the command screen. As soon as you unpause, the orders are locked in and can not be refunded.
