| Summary | 0006525: Regular move orders should give a stop command to any attached modules | ||||
| Description | Basically, if a ship with modules receives a regular move order (either whiten planet or through a wormhole) it should give a stop command to attached modules. (Except, ship type to target preference of the modules should not be cleared) This will bring it in line with most other ships, where giving a move order is a quick and easy way to make them stop firing on non-autotargetable stuff. Note, this would only apply to normal moves. FRD-move and attack-move (but NOT FRD-attack and attack-move-attack) should keep their existing behavior, where modules can keep firing on whatever it was they are firing upon. Also, if it doesn't already, the stop command of the parent should also send a stop command to all modules, but in this case, should include the clearing of the current preference to target. (Though this can be moved to a new issue) | ||||

Credit should also go to moriarty for showing a case where the current behavior can lead to hard to control modules. |

Oh, and FRD-attack, attack-move-attack, and regular attack orders to the parent should forward that attack command to the modules. If the modules cannot attack that target for whatever reason, they should instead stop what they are firing on currently. |
