Reply to Retreat!!! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

There are other options which I sorely miss as well when I watch the combat.... In addition to the ability to retreat, i'd like to see a compass rose system on the combat screen where you can issue general directives by right-clicking, such as : Target (-> strongest, -> weakest, -> non-combatants, -> specify (allows you to click on one enemy ship)) Disable (-> engines, -> weapons, -> shields, -> point defenses, -> life suppo
