if you want to take out the entire system as you want them gone or u want it well. destroying the command station causes both to be destroyed saving you time :D and losses
AI War - even the smallest units can make all the difference no matter how weak they are still quite capable of taking the hits. if it can Kill and receive damage then it worth its time other wise if it cant kill and cant take the damage for the higher surviving ships then it is worthless.

Some buildings, like Warp Gates, you have to right-click while your units are selected in order for them to target them. I know this is odd because most of the time auto-targeting takes care of all that. Units like Warp Gates increase AI Progress when they explode, so the game will not auto-target them out of courtesy to the player.

While on second thought, I think his question has been answered, when I first read the opening post, I read it as having trouble finding the warp gate.

To quickly center on a unit, right-click on it on the planetary summary on the right hand side of the screen. Repeat to cycle through multiple of the same unit.

I don't think this is documented anywhere and it's a feature I use all the time, so I'm mentioning it anyway.

Oh, and if you don't see a planetary summary on the right, you need to be bringing at least one scout with you on your raid.
