How can I configure scouting paths?

[AlgaeNymph]

When I send scouts somewhere I can only control the end on the path and not which path they take.  Is there a way of controlling their paths without micromanagement?

Welcome to the forums

You can hold shift and right click each planet you want them to pass through in-order to control the exact path.  I'm not sure if that qualifies as micromanagement

Dear Urist McTransport,

You have lots of health, and decent speed. You also have a large capacity. DON'T PATH THROUGH BLACK HOLE MACHINE PLANETS on the way to friendly territory.

I rather dislike rebuilding my entire strike force.

Sincerely,
Your benevolent overseer

But, but, there were _unclaimed socks_ on that planet!

Oh no! Urist is still alive after all of these years?

How! How is this possible!

[ShadowOTE]

Alas, poor Urist! I knew him, Keith, a fellow of infinite
use, of most excellent capacity. He hath bore my fleet a
thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my imagination it is!
My gorge rises at it.

Dorf Urist McMoonshine. It has a nice ring to it.

It has a nice ring, but surely the proper dwarven beverage is not prepared *gasp* above-ground, so as to be in view of the moon.

No such thing as above ground drinks! They make us sicker than merely being above ground!

It worked, thanks.

Nope, I only have to direct them once rather than after every jump.

...why do I get the impression that the spire race are just a megaproject gone horribly wrong right? Would explain why they're made out of rocks

[ShadowOTE]

And they call it a mine. A MINE!!!

But the real question is, if we mine them, how much would weapons made out of them be worth to those slimy tree hugging elves?
