/support the 2-button system.  Actually I care more about 2 hotkeys than 2 buttons but yeah...

Two buttons... One to cloak and separate the saucer. One to cloak without separating the saucer

I have an idea on how to seperate the cloak button.  Have the cloak button on the texture file take up 3 columns and have the actual button texture right in the middle.  That'll should separate the button on both sides unless the buttons are always a perfect square.  Then the button would be distorted a little.

I really dont understand what you just said but i promise that it wont work. Also the only reason that i brought it up earlier is so that none of the speration trolls would think that they were the first one to think of it.

I think he meant having a wider than normal button which has invisible sides, with the visible part in the middle.

That way it creates the illusion of being separated from nearby buttons - rather than involving any substantial coding changes to create a truly 'separated' cloak button.

I'd definitely like a 2-button cloak system.

The right-click rally point thing would be nice too, but that's not only from SCII - it's in a ton of RTS games.

Yeah but the button would still do the same thing....

A two button system would probably be better - just would like to point out though that even if one unit is decloaked, if you hit the "cloak" button, all units will decloak.

But that's how it is currently Dom.  I hate it when you have a fleet cloaked and one guy didn't cloak cause lack of special energy and then you have to manually click that guy.
