Disabling autouse abilities?

from Sins Forums
I noticed that in a game I played earlier today that after researching charged missiles my ships would all come out automatically using that ability in battle. To turn it off for all of my units I had to turn it off for each one individually. Is something wrong here?

I have two questions:
1) Is there a setting I am missing so that my units by default don't autouse their abilities?
2) Can I change the autouse of abilities on a group level instead of individual level?

Thanks...

Hello

1) "No auto use" by default is not a game setting.
2) "Group abilities disabeling" is not a feature i know.

But over all : why would you disable such an ability you just searched for ?
Doesn't it upgrade your ship's damage delivery ?
If you wish to spare AM to allow a retreat jump, I don't think AM is required to jump, you don't need to save it for this purpose.

Because the opponent moves his units around and then my guys are stuck because their sublight engines are down due to the ability. The first question is more in reference to my cap ships because I usually prefer to micro their abilities. The second question is because without turning off the autouse ability of charged missile I feel the Vasari technology hurts you as much as it helps.
