bug: auto attack mode

The 'K' key does not properly put the ship in auto attack mode
Sometimes auto attack mode does not properly provide the text that indicates it is in auto attack mode.
The first time auto attack mode is selected, it is automatically deselected. Selecting it again works. I should not have to click the button twice to put it in auto attack mode. Probably would not even have noticed this if the 'K' button worked.
Ships in auto attack mode leave auto attack mode upon attacking.
Ships in auto attack mode are not properly skipped when using the find button.

I came up on the forum to try and find out why the Auto Attack was not working properly, and it seems this is an ongoing issue. I have the 08-08-06 release of the game, and as nearly as I can tell, the auto attack option has been completely disabled. Whenever I select it, it automatically deselects. I have not gotten it to successfully select for any ship. Has this issue made the official bug list?

I will add this to the list.

I have a different problem with auto-attack. Hopefully, someone can help me with this. I'm at war and have a ship within range of enemy ships. I put my ship into auto-attack mode, and it takes off to some point out in the midde of nowhere, where some how a point has been created as some sort of rally point. Am I missing something or is this a flaw in auto-attack?

Are you running the latest version of the game (v1.4X)?
