Garrison Defenses raiding the next planet over in all directions. How to turn off?

Not really condusive to good gameplay to see your ships fly off on their own and get killed constantly giving the enemy experience. It just seems wasteful. Could we turn this off and build the garrison and then let it loose or use it for defense of that gravity well only.

Yep, next build will the ability to turn this behavior on/off on a per planet basis. You can also override for specific ships by giving them orders.

Oh. I am not sure whether I tried to give them orders. Great that you will be able to turn it down ff and control it. I do like that feature then if all this is to come to pass.:)

In the meantime, use "hold_position" to keep them at your home.

I've had a few issues with the hold or stop order for my garrisons. I've had them completely break, as they wouldn't move if an enemy appeared in the well or the would go back to their old ways after defeating a ship, usually scout ships.

 

I'm glad we are going to get controls for that now. This weekend, I changed the way I thought about placing garrison.

What would be great if we can setup patrols fleets.

This will be amazing, thank you!
