Auto attack fleet command.

Sometimes the game’s warfare mechanism is more annoying than fun, especially when dealing with oversized empires with little military strength especially if they spam inhibitors everywhere, especially when the responsivenesses is limited due to lag. This auto attack makes the fleet seek out its target like auto-explore or auto-rebuild does, or maybe just borrow the code from how the AI manages its fleets. It wouldn’t be ideal, but at least it is a bandaid solution. And it doesn’t only apply to weak enemies. Once you’ve beaten the enemy’s main fleets, the enemy turns into this kind of empire and become very annoying. You may be fighting multiple wars at once. It’s just not fun.

How would your auto-attack fleet know to attack Tzynn stations and not (marauders / amoebas / ether drakes / etc.)?

Simple, use the same command the AI gives when it goes to war with somebody.

you mean a giant mess of fleets flying around all over the place only to stop for long periods of time to bombard a planet?

It worked in Imperator Rome. Why not Stellaris?

Once you get like a 1M fleet or enough vassals taking point you just want a fleet to carpet fly through every enemy system for you.

because Stellaris is a very different game with spaghetti code of an AI
