Transcendence

If you use the 'Q' squadron comms, you can give orders from anywhere in the system. (As opposed to the 'C' comms, which requires your auton to be on your radar)

because you have to target your auton for the "C" comms.

I would call that a feature, not a bug.

To elaborate on F50's rather vague post, if you're talking to all you autons, you'd just broadcast a message. If you wanted to order just one, chances are you'd use a tightbeam setup.

Granted, if George ever implements emissions control and stealth, that might need to be reworked a bit.
