4 +== Overview ==
20 20  
21 21  The 'Mimic' default behaviour is a "fire and forget" solution for copying default behaviours from other ships and forming neatly organised fleets, it does not add any extra functionality to ships,

8 +== Parameters and Requirements ==
24 24  
25 -Select the ship (or group of ships) that are to join the commander's fleet from either the property menu or the map interface itself. use LEFT-CLICK to select and hold SHIFT or CTRL to either allow for dragging to multi-select or to individually add ships respectively.
10 +The repeat orders default behaviour requires at least 2 ships, one to be the fleet leader and the other to mimic. The ship that is mimicking must have equal or greater skill than the behaviour that it is mimicking. As an example a ship mimicking another vessel with the "police" behaviour must have a skill level equal or greater than the 1 star required for the police behaviour. In essence if a ship can't be setup with a particular default behaviour then it also can't mimic it from another ship. Mimic **cannot **be used to mimic [[repeat orders>>doc:X4 Foundations Wiki.Manual and Guides.Objects in the Game Universe.Orders and Behaviours (WIP, to replace "Ship Orders and Behaviours").Repeat Orders.WebHome]] ships or ships that are being given queued orders.

27 -While remaining in the map interface RIGHT-CLICK the commander and hover over "Intercept for Commander" or "Bombard for Commander" from the context menu that appears next to the cursor, the group selection options will appear in a menu cascaded off of the context menu and select a valid group (one that is either empty or has all ships within it also attacking with the commander).

29 -To remove the assignment it is matter of re-selecting the ship or group of ships and choosing "remove all orders and assignments" from the context menu.

35 35  == Applications ==
36 36  
37 37  Mimic is most useful for grouping ships with the same configuration and reducing setup time which also has the visual effect of reducing clutter in the property owned tab.

41 -== Caveats ==
42 -
43 -Mimic only allows ships to mimic a ship's default behaviour and will not copy individual commands like "Fly to", "Attack". Ships are additionally unable to mimic ships fulfilling the repeat orders assignment.
