How do I get a ship to drop from autopilot?

I find that I have to left click and then right click on a ship that is on autopilot to get control if it. Is this
what is supposed to happen?

Cheers,
Jack

Umm...you should be able to right click on a ship that is on auto-pilot and cancel its moves without having to left click on it first. If you can't, that's problems with the hit detection...I'll check it out.

Right click only? That sounds like telling one ship to follow another.

I think I have figured something out on this. I find that I can get a ship to drop out of autopilot with a single left
click once in a while. Even when not in autopilot, getting a ship selected with a mouse seems difficult. It is as if the
hot spot is too small. If I don't position the mouse exactly at the center of the ship it will often
fail to select. IMO the hot spot for selecting a ship should be the entire area within the area that the "selected" frame
covers.

Single LEFT clicking on a ship shoudl make it leave auto pilot.

But the scout ship is hard to click on. :(

Sorry...I'm still getting used to the new clicking actions. :)

I'm not too familiar with the mouse hit detect code...I'm not sure what could be done to fix it.
