Summary0002750: fortress and other deployable item targets
Descriptioni often need to reset preferred targeting for a fortress that is easily in range of the targets in question. however there seems to be no way to do this without triggering a move and thus canceling the repair aura. not sure is it would work better to do a hotkey like x or v with alternate function for deployed objects or to rework the order of the motion buffer vs targeting check to prevent the unintentional movement. please check into it

Wait, I thought fortresses no longer try to move when given an explicit attack order when the target is within firing range. Are you saying that they do move a little, even if the target can easily be hit without moving?

I think he wants to remove the fortress's attack order. Have you tried hitting End?

As recently as 4.073 (or whichever one was the one right before official release), fortresses still moved a miniscule amount when given an attack order even if the target is well within range.
