If I do "Wait for tus" 240, then as I would expect after I have accumulated at least 240 tus, my ship carries on executing it's pending orders, very handy.
However, I have done a "Wait for tus" 70, and even though today the online editor is showing my ship as having 88 tus the pending orders have not run. This has happened a few times before and I find the only way out is for me to now manually request an update for that ship, at which point it will 'remember' that it was only waiting for 70tus and will then carry on with the pending.
If this bug cannot be fixed can we at least find out what the 'magic number' of tus is where it crosses the "Will work" / "Won't work" boundary?
To many times I have missed trade deals and other pickups because my ship has just been sat around waiting for tus that it has already got.
Many thanks

you probably got multiple 'wait for tus'orders in the stack.
Just end with an Wait for tus 1 and you should be fine.
| CODE |
| | 1. Wait for Tus {70} {No} | | 2. Sell {xxxx} {xxxxx} {xxxxx} {No} | | 3. Sell {xxxx} {xxxxx} {xxxxx} {No} | | 4. Sell {xxxx} {xxxxx} {xxxxx} {No} | | 5. Sell {xxxx} {xxxxx} {xxxxx} {No} | | 6. Sell {xxxx} {xxxxx} {xxxxx} {No} | | 7. Wait for Tus {240} {No} | | 8. Jump {xxx} | | 9. Move to Starbase {xxx} {No} | | 10. Wait for Tus {240} {No} | |
Frustrating to the trader indeed. The only way is to get an update.

It does?
I never had problems with "wait for tus 1" when I wanted updates each day for a position.
Could it be multiple wait for tus causes problems? I know if you wait at the start of a turn and have wait 1 at the end you get daily updates of something waiting for the first wait time.
Maybe having the wait for tus 240 at the end means thats the one it remembers to check for?
Whenever I have used wait 240 I always get an update printout on or about 180-200tus and never before except if I submit an update.

I have a freighter that I can't be bothered with for about 2 months (2-3 wks left). In her orders, I have given:
Pickup xxx
wait until xxx tus
move to sb xxx
wait until xxx tus
sell xxx to sb xxx
wait until xxx tus
move to sb xxx dock
maintainance visit
rec visit
pickup xxx
wait until xxx tus
.... and repeat the list over and over. To date, I've never had a problem running it.
So imho, using the wait xxx tus works very well.
