nope cruisers or if they are they look and id as cruisers battleship carriers and dreadnoughts


edit

three battleships think they are refinery ships becouse they moved to a refinery

Did you perchance accidentally give them a rally point or move order on a refinery/trade ship?

as far as i can tell you can't specify anything with a relay point between systems

i have noticed that sometimes the relay point will move on its own or the ships will ignore it

You can set a rally point practically anywhere just by right clicking on an object while having a planet selected.

Refinery and Trade ships are specifically made to ignore rally points since they are not intended to be given direct orders.

i am talking about the cruisers and frigates not refinery and trade ships

these cruisers i believe origanlly ignored the relay point and stayed in their home system and since i only have one ship yard of each type it is safe to say that is what happened and when i moved them i right clicked on the system they were to go to

I was able to reproduce this. As Kryo suggested, I set a rally point on a trade ship and the frigs that came out followed it around. It even looked like they were docking with the trade ports, but I think this was just because they were trying to stay close to the trade ship.

Was a little disappointed when they didn't pick up a load of credits
