Wingmen commands

[GrandpaTrout]

Hi All,

We are revisiting how wingman commands work for Unstable Space. Our current idea is to restrict each group to just having 1 ship. So Group 8 would only have a single vessel.

The main reason for this change is to make feedback to the player clearer when the wingmen fail to do what you want. If there are 3 ships in Group 8 and you give a formate command, but 1 ship is docked, you will get a positive response. But 1 ship will be left behind.

This becomes even more confusing when you have ships with special abilities (like a tanker) mixed in with ships that don’t have those abilities.

And further, moving the ships into single groups lets us give ships more custom behavior and responses. Ordering a tanker to attack your target is going to get you a negative response (possibly and insulting negative response).

But what seems like a good idea on paper may be a real pain in practice. So we are seeking thoughts and considerations from our players
