Yes, that will work tooQuote from: "Steve Walmsley"Quote from: "mover005"On the individual orders screen I only seem to be able to target the set waypoint. When I set the waypoint on the planet, the rocket shoots fine and launches the buoy when it arrives, but the buoy just ends up uselessly in space, and not in the orbit around the target planet.Instead of creating a waypoint using the Add button, select the planet so it is centered in the window and then press the Last button. This will create a waypoint on the last thing you selected. If this is a planet, the waypoint will move with the planet so the missile arrives in the right place.

Oh!! I presume that this works if your survey ships detect an alien thermal/em signature on a planet/moon and you waypoint it like above? So, when your survey ships moves away (or gets blow up!) you can still come back in a few years time and know what moon it was because the WP moved with it?
