SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - Fleet Command Questions - Speed orders and Helicopter Transit

Copied from my other thread, because its an entire different question and has nothing to do with the original topic, and i haven't recived any random-hit answers, so i'm making a proper topic about it. Thank you for any help in advance.

1) Now, i just noticed some flaws, i cannot, for some reason, set the speed for units. For airplanes, shift+6 and shift+8 work, 7 doesnt. When i want to command a ship, shift-1 slows them down, but i cannot command them to go faster or even ahead flank, shift-2/3 doesn't do anything, and i don't get any reply from the ship either (they send me a 'roger' when i command them to go slow with shift+1), also ships accelerate to about half of their topspeed when i give them a patrol order, and i have to manually order them back to their original speed.

2) Also, is there any possibility to make a transfer from one to another ship with planes? In a scenario, i'd like to send a Helicopter 'with a VIP' from an airport surrounded by enemy forces to land on a frigate, so to say a evac-ops. Now, i have both "return to base" and "return to station" in the menu, but both actions will result in the aircraft to take course on the area it has taken off from. Can i somehow assign them to another base, so from now on, it will recognize the frigate as home base, not the airport? And yes, the Frigate has got free space, it#s an empty OHP, which should be able to carry 2 seahawks, so one should be able to land there.
