I just need a confirmation on how to set the ships to patrol a star system.
I've seen this in some post but i cant find it anymore, someone said "select ur ship/ships and set them to patrol the star itself", will that make my ships patrol the star system and jump to help where needed in case my enemies attack something of mine ?

thanks

I also saw that thread. I believe the poster was saying this is how it "should work".

well either way, at the moment this is useless because this is considered "manual control" over ur ships so they wont refuel once they run out of fuel so it would be a pain in the ass to manually refuel multiple fleets/ships in multiple systems (one fleet/ship for each system u control). Sooo, i cant wait for the next update wich should fix this issue and add an option to auto refuel even in manual control.
