Summary0020068: Can we please get a "hold fire" command for cloaked ships?
DescriptionI can't deepstrike a datacenter even if I destroy every tachyon sentinel on the way there, because the Raid Starships shoot at the wormhole sentinels and everything else in range, wasting the cloak and rendering them useless for offensive cloaking strategies.

I full-heartedly endorse this. You could do this in classic and it made so many strategies viable. Please add back!

I could have sworn this was in here already. Can anyone check the hotkeys in inputsettings.dat? I think we're just not exposing this to you properly yet (the selected ships panel will have some controls for things like FRD and hold fire and whatnot on it).

10-4, I guess we didn't get that to the interface at all. It's in the code. I'll add that soon.

Thanks!

* Added the "hold fire" mode that folks have definitely been missing! Aka, "Toggle Ship Systems Enabled"
** Press the N key to enable it, by default.
** Switch the selected ships into or out of functioning. While disabled, military ships will not attack anything they see. This is very useful for ships that are cloaked that you want to keep stealthy. When disabled, engineers will not spend metal doing work, and space docks will not run, etc.
