Hi Everyone

I'm the admin for spaceSimCentral and I recently had a thread on my
site with the developer that might answer some thing too:
http://www.spacesimcentral.com/general-space-sim-chat-f10/gratuitous-space-battles-t463.html

But I can answer the question about the control. You basically setup
your fleet of ships and formations etc and when you are done the
planning phase then you watch it all unfold. I asked that question I
believe in my Q&A with the dev.
