Re: Commands that you wished existed!
Who wants a command?

I want to taunt the enemies so they come to me... then DIE!

"Engage enemy fighters but stay away from flak and AA beam cannon range" command would be nifty. :)

Re: Commands that you wished existed!
This is just a very quick, simple, request. You know how 'H' targets hostiles and alt-H continuously does so, and the same with M and alt-M for speed matching? Could we have the same for 'B', so that alt-B continuously targets nearest enemy bomber when you destroy a bomber, or even a fighter too?
It would pretty useful for the common "protect ships x,y, z from incoming bombers and fighters". I've noticed that I get rather annoyed when I'm flying around trying to keep bombers out of range of some poor Argo carrying thousands of civilians, and suddenly I noticed that the target I'm flying towards is a fighter. Then I have to press 'B' to look where to go next.
I wonder if the Shivans eat chocolate? Or play FS2, for that matter.

Silver: it should make your ship explode after you push it 42 times

Aceofspades: I want that too...auto bomb actually. It should prioritize actual bombs and target them first, then the bombers themselves

You probably already know this, but it wasn't obvious from your post. The current 'B' command does prioritize bombs over bombers. After bombers comes fighters. I'm not sure if after that it targets bigger enemies though.

Re: Commands that you wished existed!
Some that would make them go after mission objectives. There are moments I don't really feel like scrolling through 28 turrets to find the rear beam I'm supposed to destroy. Also, it gets tiresome to order them time and again to attack that bomber wing that just reappeared. Then of course the "Don't fire your bombs from 1500 meters, then assault the destroyer with your lasers."

A command to tell your wingmates to attack a ceratin enemy wing wouldnt be bad.

 :wtf: :rolleyes: :doubt: there's got to be six or so posts here asking for the 'attack wing' command. I think the issue is understood now.

What about a protect wing command, so that you can tell the space superiority wing to protect the bomber wings, to keep the interceptors off of all of them.

Besides showing that an option is popular does increase the possibility that someone like me will look at it :)

Sorry if you felt I was a bit harsh.

Also...
Oh, and I would like to spawn ships in-game as well.  Any clues on that?

Ship-create SEXP. Download the bigger bearbaiting mission I posted earlier on this thread and look at the first two events for an example of how to use it :)
I think he meant an in-game command that spawns ships, just like the '~' + K cheat, for example, and you're talking about spawning in FRED.
