It just means having to micromanage a particular unit's actions. I like it more when I can say "patrol this area, return fire and advance a bit if necessary, but no further than this", instead of having to flip back to those units constantly to manage them. IMO it's more thematic anyways for a sci fi game, you're probably going to have units with a basic AI in them in-universe.

I recently checked out BAR and liked it. I don't like micro in RTS games, because I always think "a computer can do this better than I could", so it's nice that they've got good unit automations available.
