Squadron of several ships. Lead ship has orders like this:

- Move to system quad (wormhole location)
- Enter wormhole
- Wait for TUs (1)
- Wait for TUs (241)
- Move to starbase X

The Wait for TU (1) should ensure that the quadron does weekly updates until it has entered the safeguarded orbit of the wormhole, and that it does not linger in mid-space.
After going through the wormhole it was supposed to pass the Wait for TUs (1) order immedaitely and then accumulate TUs for the trip again in the safe wormhole orbit, this time on the other side.

It has happened at least twice now that these orders were plainly ignored. The ships went through the wormhole, left wormhole orbit on the other side and begun moving towards the starbase. There was not even a report on the Wait for TU orders although they were clearly issued according to the turn file stored by my offline editor.
The loss of two DTR Caravels to the same ship of Pirate Large can be credited to this bug I believe (I hadn't realized that the ships had moved beyond their orders into mid-space).

I always thought the wait for TU oder wasn't a squadron order.

I normally issue squadron orders,then end them,issue the wait for Tus to the lead ship then start squadron orders again.

A bit awkward,so making the Wait order a squadron as well will help a lot. biggrin.gif

After mine failing the first time I checked the squadron order list in the editor, and noticed wait for tus was not there.
I now do the same as Ted, but agree, it would be nice if the wait for tus would work for squadrons too.
