Allow Movement commands from map regardless of player position.#38

?

recently I learned a trick, where you’re near a station wanting to move it somewhere distant you can click the land/move command go into map then scroll down to the location you want the station to go to.

Got great use out of it on a slow moving defensive stations, sending them to guard distance gate killing everything in it path.

It would be nice to be able to issues move commands to any station regardless on player position. As currently you have to be within interaction distance to issue orders.

I think you can issue the commands from anywhere if that station has a rocket adapter.

Re above, it’s specifically the Command Core which can be selected from map view. If you select any other facility to get the movement commands (like a strut) it’s limited by reach.

I still think it’d be nice if it was a little less strict (like, 2-5x normal reach) or even unlimited, but this does give you a reason to put command cores on your defense stations which otherwise wouldn’t want to spend the stab/power/slots even if they’re happy/willing to have engines for emergencies (or just that sweet +6 net stab limit).

Additionally it’s kinda clunky that you have to click specifically on the command core to issue orders from any distance. Would be nice if it worked on any part of the station.
