i have just updated my political from the 2 pound option to the 4 pound one.
do i get the updates of all my outposts/platforms without issuing orders or do i still need to issue an update request.

cheers

You have to issue update requests. All that changes is that you don't get charged for the updates when you receive them.

Don't forget that using the off-line editor, you can set up all your UpDate orders at the same time and then save it as, say, "Outposts.trn".
Just email that each week to get all the updates - no need to go through everything re-issuing update orders each week.

an request update (end-of-week) doesn't work that???
Clay
Request Update (end of Week)?
What's that, and where?

You can't do the end of week stuff with "turn type" orders, not on the online editor anyway, the offline editor doesn't handle it like an order at all i think, can't remember.

You cannot do this on the ofline editor
Clay
Good! Thought I was missing some brain cells for a moment there. When it was Sjaak all the time tongue.gif

Nasty Falconians stealing brains again! They're zombies I tell you , zombies!

cheers for the advice!

think i've mentioned this before but maybe a command that updates all outposts, starships, starbases would be a good addition?

A more generally useful enhancement would be to create functionality that allowed one to import preconfigured turns into the current turn set.

This will enable all types of standard turn sets useful for regular updates, repeititive route management for example.

That would be simple for the offline editor, and a complete bitch to do for the online one.

Don't be so negative.... web developers are a gift to mankind. I have always been give to understand that most of them are rocket scientists and thus everthing is almost trivial.

Surely a cookie parser (or equivalent) could be used to implement this idea?

The cookie bit isn't a problem, in fact it's not even needed you can just send user/pass with the page request (that what my position download tool does), the problem is that you have to seperatly request to add a turn for the position then add each order type without overloading the kjc servers, each of these returns a number unquie for that particular order on that position today (as far as i can tell).

Okay so it would be pretty easy to upload an order set onto the online editor, it's merging with currently orders which may contain more orders for the same ship that would be hard.

Of course you could be saying this just so i'll prove how hard it is by doing it tongue.gif

Unloading would be easier than downloading the current turns as well i think, depends what data is stored on the orders page.
