    same problem here, I can only give move to waypoints, i've only once managed a build structure waypoint.

    I don't think its a big problem, but it would be nice if we could have the other waypoints.

    "pick up equipment at waypoint"

    This existed even in 1.0x. You simply had to right click on a piece of dropped equipment. Good luck getting it to work, though. I only managed to do it once in my couple hundred times of commanding, and it was on accident.
    I found with 2.0, some of the "targeting" for waypoints looks a little off. Like trying to waypoint to build a structure, you have to be pretty accurate with your right click.

    As for "search and destroy", I don't think it was ever in the game, but merely a sound bite that was made and decidedly used for the NS 2 trailer.

    [EDIT]
    You can still pull off a defend target, weld target at waypoint, build target at waypoint, attack target at waypoint... and whatever else you could do in 1.0x. However, it requires real precision to do it. No idea why, but it's probably just something that got adjusted with the commander's interface.

    Weird, I did that to a guy a few days ago that was being annoying, and it worked (as in I saw the icon over his head). It's gone?

    If you mean how it's buggy like the build structure waypoints, and will often just give a move waypoint, then yes, I agree with you.
