Same works for factories: ALT + RightClick will give new produced units (incl. engies) the reclaim-move-order mentioned above - and the radius for reclaiming is rather high for engies ordered this way.

another difference is that the engineers will not reclaim until they have reached the waypoint.
factory attack move is the most efficient way to reclaim, but the rally point should be switched often.

Same question !

Is the question still open to you, ttsolo?
It was solved for the engi in the first post: ALT + RightClick. The engi will move to that position and will try to reclaim everything on its way (if you need the mass, if you don´t, he will not reclaim). If nothing left to do, they will pop up as iddle engies - the big advantage over patrol-orders.

Same works for factories: ALT + RightClick will give new produced units (incl. engies) the reclaim-move-order mentioned above - and the radius for reclaiming is rather high for engies ordered this way.

But that key combo is not realy a trick - it´s just the attack-move for any unit.

If you get the Zulan Hotbuild mod ^^^ posted by Myxir, assigning the Overcharge function for you comm to "Z" helps alot during fast battles. It helps me

if you install Zulan's Hotbuild, you get this: http://scst.myvowclan.de/hotbuild/mod-layout.png
(you can adjust everything to your wishes, this is just default)

CTRL-Z : double click on unit works faster and smarter for me . Just be aware that double click will select units of a certain type which are visualized on screen in that exact moment , depending on zoom you are using. That may be useful if you want to move the tanks of a group you are taking care of but not all the tanks you actually own.

Another really useful one is [comma], which selects and centres on the ACU, very handy when you get the under attack warning.

Also F11 shows all players’ pings, so you can identify laggers.

If you like keyboard shortcuts, make sure you give this a try: http://forums.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?t=32628

It takes some getting used to, but it's seriously awesome once you get the hang of it.
