Stop

The stop command causes all selected units to instantly cancel their current command. If they were moving somewhere, they stop moving. If they were attacking something, they stop shooting.

Immediately after stopping, units will reevaluate their present situation and begin attacking nearby enemies if their behavior settings allow for it. They will also perform other automatic tasks, such as going for healing/repairs as allowed by their Damage Tolerance settings.

This command can, therefore, be used to cause units to reacquire targets, reevaluating target priorities from the top. Sometimes this is faster than trying to manually direct them yourself. For example, if you see a group of units chasing mindlessly after a Freighter while being mauled by some Guardians, hit “Stop” and your units should then begin shooting at the Guardians.
