	With the introduction of combat transactions triggering skirmish battles, a standing order to not transact with positions in combat would be useful. This would be very useful for ships on long hauls turning up in a fire zone and then being blown up when they try to deliver the usual amount of modules or pick up ore from the outpost etc.

	Are you impling that currently if you transact with a position in combat you are drawn into battle? If so then i think the default should be no transaction and you have a standing order to allow it. If not then what exactly would issuing the order prevent?

	Yup, that's exactly what happens. I lost a caravel recently when it tried to pick up from a pirate vessel that I expected to have been reduced to debris. It hadn't been reduced to debris when the turn ran, and it triggered a battle where all of the friendly and allied vessels present destroyed my Caravel because it was attempting to interact with a vessel under fire. While the pirate ran for it. Not my most glorious moment.

	In that case i think the order is required But would suggest it defaults to stopping people doing the silly thing and getting blown up

	Not bothered about the default setting, so long as it is clearly listed on the position.

	Worth also making a standing order available not only for ships but also for outposts and starbases to prevent them transcating with a combat active positions. Nigel
