Had a squadron of cargo ships attempt to deliver to a starbase using the Deliver Item Type: Modules order. One ship delivered it's modules (the first ship following the commanding ship in the Squadron), the rest of the ships in the squadron showed the following error:

> TU 112: Deliver Item Type {450} {55} {0} {} {Install - No}
Error - No Module items available.

However, each of the ships (except the ship starting the Squadron Orders) had the following in cargo:

| CARGO |
| 15 Basic Module (410) - 40 mus 600 |
| 10 Transport Module (415) - 40 mus 400 |

The only ship without modules was the ship commanding the squadron.

The order format doesn't look right - your squadron was trying to deliver a total quatity of zero MUs of module type items to position 450. In the end the error message in itself may have been faulty (it failed because of zero quantity, not lack of modules) but it shouldn't have worked anyways.

That said, note that the quantity ordered for delivery is for the entire squadron and not per ship. Took me a long time to figure that out!

So for Pickup or deliver "Item Type" the quantity is for the whole squadron, but for pickup or deliver "Item" it is per ship??
How confusing...

Thanks - I think that helps explain it.

FWIW - the commanding ship, which didn't have any modules aboard, had the following orders/error message:

> TU 112: Deliver Item Type {450} {55} {1000} {} {Install - No}
Error - No Module items available.

So it would appear that in the coding for the Deliver Item Type order, the MU quantity is an index value that gets decremented as the orders are processed. Handy to know.

Cheers and thanks for the clarification,
