Query: Automated ship construction and move orders

Im thinking of making a mod that pitches players head to head in a very small galaxy, with frigates constantly bing built and sent to the oppsing world. (think warcraft 3 footmen wars)

my question is:

is it possible to automate build orders and move orders?

 

Cheers

first of all you need to experiment with this without doing anymodding, then use galaxy forge or map maker to make a very small map. this question really is not a modding question

It does sounds like a modding question to me.  He wants to know how if it is possible to mod game files to make ships automatically build and move to a certain destination. You cannot do that in game.  You must build the ships yourself and set waypoints.

Build......depends on your definition of "Build"

(Spawn, yes, Build, no)

 

As for Move orders, NO.

 

Wraith Mod Productions (Me and shadow mastiff) already have a mod like this under construction, and almost finished called, Bridge Comand.

Question: if the waypoint is set by the user in the beginning of the game, will ships created after the fact then rendevous to that point? And can the waypoint be set to another planet? Or only inside the grav well?

waypoints can be set on anything from a FIGHTER to a STARBASE. And anywhere in the map. You can even have three planets with three frig factories each, all rallied to three different caps, and spitting out Cobalts like mad.

The end result- probably heavy losses but target saturation for the enemy (TOO MUCH TO SHOOT AT!).
