Units reset command queue when entering new formation

Please see the report here: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1791

How do y'all think this should be handled?

I think the units should either begin executing the task when their own queue is complete, or wait for everyone in the formation to complete their queues and then begin all at the same time.

Well, what is expected is for each of them to finish their current task (if you told them to gather something, they'll gather until they're full, deliver it to a dropsite and then proceed to the next task) and then proceed to the next task, following their own queue. Why would you want one to wait for the others? From my point of view, the sooner they start to build, the better, isn't it?

But do you agree that the units should complete their own task before rushing off to do the queued task? They don't currently.

At least in all games with task queues I've played, the workers finish their current task before following the queue. The logic is that if you are holding shift (the key to queue), then you want to finish the current order, first.
