Patrol control

[Tisifoni12]

Is there a way to put 'way points' into a patrol route ?
Have I missed something or is one limited to whatever route the AI decides is optimal ?

As far as I know, there is currently no way to do this.

You can shift-click which creating patrol routes just like you would with normal commands. Sometimes behaves a bit weird though.

Yeah, I think what would happen is: A -> B -> A -> C -> D -> C -> A -> B -> A and so on, with two.

In addition to what Ryika said, I often split my patrols so that they cover exact route as wanted.
This may result in excessive patrols but with a bit of starbase placement planning you can reduce patrol split to minimum.

Unless they changed something, the last time I tried to do this it cycled through each route once and then only repeated the last one.
