Move here could be: Click "Regroup" and then point a hex, mercs will move there. If you click yourself, the mercs will regroup around the player.
I beleave the best way to keep control on mercs is that if they follow the player without delay like some probes. The player is a planet and the mercs are moons or satellites.
Attacking without actually attacking enemy yourself could be: click "Hostile" and click on enemy. Clicking yourself will just set the mercs on readyness.

- giving orders should cost APs. your mercs, are your combat skill, so when you force your mercs to shoot, that will cost you attack amount of APs. and that is logical, because yelling need focus/time/energy, so it should be normal action, which consume your 'mana'.

bullshit! this is bad idea. so i have m leader with 5ap and i have to wait 5s before i can give new order? it could be good idead if you can give orders to all your mercs at same time even if you dont see them. otherwise it will be pointles

Someone with 3 mutants or 5 BG mercs maybe it would make sense, but slavers need combat abilities.
AP idea is interesting - either you fight yourself or you give commands to mercs.
This way leader build could still have combat abilities.
But "attack" command is usually given by shooting at someone and it takes AP already...

Maybe there should be "leadership points" based on CH or Speech...
Similar to AP but used for commands. But I think it would be too complicated.
5 AP means you are pretty much some old guy on a wheelchair so don't complain you can't lead army...

or i am lord of war and i am veteran, som my mercs are boosted and i dont need to shoot by myslef.
Solar:
I think its going a bit far to say they should be useless. But AP to give orders doesn't mean they will automatically be useless.
They'd just be trading combat moves for changing orders.
