Couple of Questions

[alcohol]

hi guys =) got some simple questions here:

1. in MP, i can't seem to give the "attack" order to almost anything. It shows up in the orders section, but it seems to me like it just stands there...

2. in MP, drones and fighters don't seem to work very well. Fighters work ... not bad.... but drones seem to only work in combat, and since i can't make them attack a target, they're only good when someone attacks something that's CARRYING drones.

3. Any way to launch only 1 of a unit in MP?

4. Do we need Spaceports for Research/intel?

5. Any way to make a ship NOT stop once it encounters a system with alien ships/colonies/units in it?
