There have been a few scattered posts about this, but to my knowledge nobody had it completely figured out.

Basically, what happens if if your ship is auto-attacking a target and you try to add to the queue of targets, that queue will be ignored and the ship will continue to auto-attack.

How to make it not work:

- Build a cap.

- Send it to one of the neutrals with more than 2 ships.

- After it picks an auto-attack target, hold shift and queue any number of other ships.

- When the original auto-attack target is done, the ship will continue with auto-attacks and the target queue will be completely wiped.

How to make it work:

- Repeat the first 2 steps above.

- Instead of holding shift, first manually select an attack target. Then hold shift and queue other ships.

- The queue will now execute normally.

Bug in a nutshell: You have to manually target your ship(s) before queuing targets, else it will continue auto-attacking.
