[1.0.1.108]"Patrol" command works wrong

[Smiling_Spectre]

Patrol command asks you to select sector for patrolling.

But actually it not need it. I can select anything (I tried), and still afterwards my ship will remain in the same sector, patrolling.

It's obvious bug: either patrol is not intended to get extra directions, or ship must go to indicated sector. (I would select the first - it greatly speeds up the game and very convenient for case "make ship no-idle but not do anything".

I could not reproduce this. Tried with a new game and it worked fine in my tests. Steps taken:

1. Build ship (1 or more to group).
2. Give order patrol, left-click on a sector. Task force order shows patrol.
3. Ship moves to sector and begins patrolling until order is changed.

If you can still reproduce it not working for you, please send a report and I'll take a look.

Yes.

Yes. And in my case it neither show "moving to sector X,Y", nor drawing line to this sector. It's simply "patrol".

3. Ship moves to sector and begins patrolling until order is changed.

I will try this. If p.3 is right, then order itself works right - but not it's displaying.

---update---
Yes, now I see. Order itself works. But it always display "patrol", even when in movement, instead expected "Patrol->Sector 3,14" or something, like it work for, say, colonizing. Also, it displays moving line only on second turn. Need to be corrected!

I think patrolling sector x-x would be a good addition(suggestion).

[Zaimat]

Done, it will now (in the next patch) display it's destination vector and sector info!

Thank you ! It will be another fine addition
