Jumping to Sentry Ships

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi. How the crap do you keep the view from jumping to your idle, non-orbiting ships all the time. I don't know if its a glitch with my install or just a setting I need to uncheck, but every time I send a ship someplace that makes it disappear from the galactic map (ie. into orbit, to upgrade a starbase or to build a colony) the view jumps to my non-moving ships, making me lose my place. Its really irritating on large maps. Is there any way to turn this feature off?

Thanks

Try using "guard" instead of sentry. I believe that one only wakes ships when an enemy flies by.

On the other hand, I've had exactly this issue with guard, even when I wasn't at war with anyone and it drives me nuts.

Im finishing up my first Gigantic map (11hrs and counting) and I used gaurd plenty as I was posistioning fleets along my border.

It always worked for me EXCEPT for one fleet. It was a fleet ships that the Dregs gave me, and I dont know if that had something to do with it.

I could never get survey to do anything that I noticed.
