Also, if you use left mouse click rather than CTRL then your selected damage weapon would not fire and you would just launch tag darts instead.
Hi - I can see how you might think the above, but in the thread it tells you to set the ship to "follow me" - I did previously ask it to hold position. (although "follow me" is still an order?)

So I had - "follow me", was in cargo collect mode, had cargo drones x10 (also I used CTRL not the mouse, both times)

I'm going to have another go today if I find another crate - it was only by chance I found that others beside a small freighter that had been destroyed.
This game sure doesn't make things easy to work out.

If you add the ship to your squad, you shouldn't need to give any 'follow me' orders for it to start moving to your location and be ready for you to select cargo collection mode.

However, if you have previously given it an order (maybe even including 'follow me' :o ) then you might have to issue 'follow me again' to remove any conflict. The ship/captain info/orders (while in cargo collect mode) should show something along the lines of 'Moving to Player Location, Supporting Player ship' - and the tasked ship should then be jumping, turning or moving.

It sounds as though you are referring back to a well out of date manual or advice.
