| Does the programme take into account the number of TU's used to determine where ships are in relation to each other if both have orders to move on the same day? For example if there are two ships both moving to a planet to buy the same good - will the ship that gets there in less TU's get priority over ship B? Or as another exampl, if two ships are moving through the same quadrant/ring is there a possibility that they will miss each other because it takes one ship more TU's to reach that point in space? (ie; ship A has already been and gone by the time ship B reaches the point where they're paths have crossed) | |||

I think it's down to the player to choose the sequence their turns are processed in. | |||

Sorry - just to clarify I'm not talking so much about sequencing turns - if anything *avoiding* other position. For example; I have a ship at x and want to move it out before another person gets his/her ship to that point. Say it takes me 10 TU's to move to another ring, but takes the other ship 30 TU's to reach my starting point and both turns are submitted on the same day - will my ship avoid his/hers? | |||

I believe it is literally a case of who does their turns first. Remember that we can "save" TU's - so that ship you're trying to avoid may actually be using TU's from four days ago. If you try to link this kind of thing back exactly to "who would get where by when" then you open a whole large can of worms.... Dan |
