---------- Manual Command Extension (MCE) ----------
The Manual Command Extension is a mod designed to give you control over basic ship commands that were missing from the games release.

To give a command to a ship, first you must add it to your squad.
When a ship is in your squad and you comm it (default key C, also accessible via property menu), select "New Order" and then select "Manual Commands" (2-4)

To Install, Download the Zip and extract the folder to your /X Rebirth/extensions directory. Please read the below header in red!

To uninstall, Delete the MCE folder and then modify your savegame in My Documents/X Rebirth/<RandomNumbers>/Save, open your save and then delete the line referencing MCE in your <patches></patches> section
---------- Words of Caution ----------
These commands are powerful and experimental, please use your best judgement when dealing with them - for example if you have just told a ship to dock at a shipyard for refit, don't go and use any of the MCE commands, you could create potentially disastrous scenarios and deadlock your ship into doing nothing, as well as loosing the credits you just spent!

When a ship is doing a trade run, the MCE, for your own safety, Will not accept any input - Interrupting Trade scripts is not possible at this time, however trade cancel commands are planned for the future when i figure out a way to do them safely :)

Again, use your common sense!

Currently Implemented Commands:

Hold Position
Instruct the ship to stop moving and hold in its current location.

Follow Me
Instruct the ship to resume following you (after you told it to hold position)

Refuel Jumpdrive
Instructs the ship to replenish its jumpfuel at the nearest friendly Energy Cell Recharging Station.

Escort Me
Instructs the ship to follow you in full combat readiness mode, note that currently this command may not work due to problems with the stock escort script.

Patrol Zone...
Instructs the ship to patrol a selected zone for hostile forces.

Move To Zone...
Instructs the ship to move to the zone you select, and then holds position on arrival..

Abort Trades!
Abort all outstanding trades for this ship, and return any reserved credits!
