Question regarding Rally Points

from Stardock Forums
When creating a Rally Point, the player is asked to set the parameters or options for that point (auto attack enemy; gather fleet; etc.). How do you change them? Clicking on them doesn't seem to have any effect and without knowing _what_ to key in I'm reluctant to just randomly poke away at the keyboard. Are there other options or is this feature incomplete at this time?

If you click on the rally point on the main map, it should return you to this parameter screen - to change the rally point name or order.

Speaking of rally points, I thought that the graphic for a rally point should change depending on the rally point orders.

Also, why isn't there a "move to another rally point" rally point order?

(Yes, I did mention this separately in the bug thread.)

I don't want to change the name. I want to change what the ships are supposed to do.

I may not have phrased the question very well. When you create (or edit) a Rally Point there are three ship order options: Set as Autopilot Destination; Form Fleet; and Engage Enemy. Are there supposed to be any more? If so, how do I access them?

Yes, yes, yes! I really want this too.
Even better: you should be able to move rallypoints to a new location, or (alternately) redirect all ships/planets to a new rallypoint en mass. The battlefield is fluid. I don't want to have to go to dozens of ships and planets and update their rallypoint information whenever the situation dictates.

Nope, they're not in there. When I first got the beta I wondered about them too. Hopefully stardock will add some in the next update.
