need better commands for ships

[KRM398]

I thought this was a remote controlled type game we own a lot but we fly one thing right? How come even with the help of some modders who are greatly appreciated, we still don't have necessary commands for our ships? I have a small miner it dropped off the ore it had at the base then sat there, I ordered it to Gushing Springs and when it got there I clicked...'mine here' and what did it say? 'OK we'll start immediately' and when I looked...it was on the way to me...in Wreckville...oh come on...there needs to be orders for such a thing, but aren't. If I order a miner into a sector where I have scanned and know ore is...I should be able to order him to mine. The station manager can too of course but I think thats bugged...since after giving him 4 different ships he sent every one out and not a single one ever returned, and they are gone from my list and his..instantly, less than 10 minutes after I gave them to him. So trying to manually mine or gather is the best way, if you had the commands to use. Also need the old commands for 'attack my target/protect me/ and dock here...for drones and ships that would help a lot since I hear that defense and offense seems bugged too.

And here's another example...I just boarded and capped a Rehanas that just happens to have more than half the stuff on board I need for my station upgrade..all at once...wow, great! Not...it lost the jump drive in the attempt, and one antimatter engine. It has one engine and I repaired the ship and hull back to 100% and the one engine that far too with the repair laser mod. Now...order it to de fre and then start that way myself. Not happening it wont run at all on one engine but it will escape from you on one even with the jump destroyed, its been done. Now have a 4 star engineer on board and my captain and all that stuff. Not happening.

If we had proper commands I could jump in with a new Rehanas and drones and remove the freight from one to the other, then go back and sell the busted up one to the shipyard, case closed, but we cant do that, we cant even transfer to a docked ship...nothing. This needs to be fixed soon, having nice scenery is great but how can it be that good if your looking at ships with millions in stuff you own....but can ever have? Thats important too. Now have to sell it as is and look another couple hours for more stuff in a different ship.

Try the MCE it does some of the rudimentary stuff well enough, best option until there are some official fixes.

And the Improved Engineer mod will get your Rahannas up and running easily enough.

I have hull engineer 60 installed now...and the repair laser mod, dont think 2 different engineer mods together will work, besides there's always another one out there, just upset me after a few hours getting so close, thats all, and have the command mod...its not got any commands for drones in it and they aren't working anyways. An sad to say, he says hes sick of this game...his mod is discontinued...so what little we got will have to do.
