The tactical manager is submenu of the ship action grid opened by a button in the free spot. Not much more can be said at this point. We have a number of options to include in it and we are trying to determine the minimum neccessary options so keep it simple and accessible for every user. I can say that the group movement and auto attack range states are being moved off the rightclick action and moved into this area as their own buttons. This is being changed because way too many people aren't realizing you can right click buttons to access critical functionality despite the tooltips and tutorial instruction.

so this tactical manager is just to replace the crtl+1, right clicks and combat stances we know now?

Awsome.

a fleet manager,

if this is what I think it is. Then this is mote than awsome, even more usefull than the comand tree. Though possibly useless without each other.

Yeah, but the old system was so incredible -- it was, quite frankly, ingenious. It was a far superior system to any similar controls that I have ever seen! (Even if it was confusing, don't delete it, just duplicate the control there. That way those of us who are "clued in" can still use the shortcut... and that way, the idea will be out there, so others can use it).

Have to support Ron. Don't remove the old way, just add a second one in the submenu.

It sounds like something I was going to ask for. Cool!
