			If one of your ships is towing, but your command ship at the same location is not towing, then the towing ship will NOT move early with the command ship's group. This causes a lot of confusion for players, and can result in hitting mines you didn't expect to hit.

	If a command ship is towing, accompanying ships will still go early, even if they are not towing.		If a command ship is towing, accompanying ships will still go early, even if they are not towing.
