Summary0024518: Ships spawned from stationary ship do not follow fleet order
DescriptionWhen giving order to stationary ship, all existing ships follow that order but new spawned ones simply remain around fleet centerpiece; they spawn with appropriate stance (attack mode, stop to fire, etc) but simply gather around main ship.

To reproduce:
1. put a fleet leader in stationary mode
2. give an order to the fleet (move)
3. destroy some of the already built ship

new built ship remains around fleet leader.

In attached savegame, fleet 0000001 has an already queued move order and some lines are set to not build; simply C-click fleet leader and set any line as "build".
Observe as new ships stay close to leader.

bonus: notice how 5 V-Wings (4x +1) returns near fleet leader, without apparent reason (if you're fast enough, CTRL + ALT and hover reads "decollide" but it's decolliding quite far from the gather point)
TagsNo tags attached.

Thanks!

* So! Chris completely misremembered how stationary flagship mode works, and this led to it being described as a way to set up a rally point.
** Previously, this did not work because any orders that were given to a flagship in stationary flagship mode were refused, but any orders that it already had it would execute. This is backwards! It should accept all new orders, but sit there with them and hand them to any ships emerging from itself.
*** Given how much more desirable that is, that is how this mechanic now works.
** Additionally, any move orders on the galaxy map work the same as any other orders. If you don't hold Z, your flagship will still just sit right where it is in stationary flagship mode. This makes it actually possible to set up cross-planet rally points using the galaxy map screen, whereas otherwise it was not possible at all.
** And finally, the various tooltips have been updated to reflect this new functionality.
