Patrols

I was wondering if it is possible to set a patrol pattern with your fleets and/or individual ships. There is this small corridor in which the Drath seem to be able to slip through and chew on my merchants and constructors. I've niether the ships availble (my Torian war is using up my frontliners and forge worlds) or sensor tech to have this area covered and it is quite annoying to have to manually tell you ships to move in a such a realitively small area.

I have not found a way to create patrol routes. it is annoying. If you research the entire sensor tree, and build the last achievement in that line, you can see all ships on the mini map. That way, as you see red dots moving for that gap, you can intercept...

Programmable patrol routes would be a wonderful addition to the game!!!

I agree, partol routes would eliminate the need for alot of micromanagment that can take a long time to do per turn.

i actually signed on to say the same thing. it wouldn't be hard. just add an option like sentry or guard that adds a couple waypoints for the ships.

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! It would solve alot of problems and time during turns. But since it is a turn based game,itmite not be practical....
