Issued orders for a squad of 5 ships today, to take off from one starbase and land at another on the same planet. Got this back:

>TU 234: Start Squadron Orders {No}
Freight Alpha (2) Squadron:
Cataph'ence (24335) Sil'ence (27715)
Dan'sor (89873) Metaph'ence (92705)

>TU 234: Move to Starbase {664} {Dock - Yes}

>TU 234: End Squadron Orders
Done.

It looks as though the move to starbase order was ignored, as all ships are still docked at FGZ Dhalad Hur.

So - in summary of all the new topics today - all captains have forgotten how to pilot ships? Is this the bare-bones of it all? blink.gif

I had similar results yesterday trying to move a squad to dock with a Startbase on a move to starbase order.

The ships were in the orbital quad

I think we have a complementry bug (pickup orders -- movement problems there too).

Please look at both to see the similarities.

Summary:
Ships told to move to starbase x. Never go there.

Yup - Damn those Skipfire routines and damn squadrons. It is fixed and will be in place for Monday. biggrin.gif

Today's attempt, run from position Alleg'ence (44798), also part of the squadron.

Dhalad Hur does not have orbital docks, and the ships do not have sufficient manouvre speed to take off - however, last week I issued a reverse of the order from the ships docked at Fessin Rahm - and they moved across the planetary surface. They don't seem capable this week smile.gif


>TU 300: Start Squadron Orders {No}
Freight Alpha (2) Squadron:

>TU 300: Move to Starbase {664} {Dock - Yes}
Leaving FGZ Dhalad Hur (27588).
Landed at 20,22

FGZ STARBASE Fessin Rahm (664) is not at accessible from your location.

>Turn Stopped:
There is an error in your pending orders. Your need to clear/correct your
pending orders before another turn will be processed.

Mica, is there any chance I can ask you to move these ships either to the orbit of Mobile Bay or docked with Rahm? I've had plenty of difficulty trying to get the squadron there...

Hmmm, I do need a few more freighters... How nice that you are stuck in my starbase. Now, where is that 'board ship' order... smile.gif

I think i have this all sorted now - its all down to the one step movement done by squadrons. I'll send in a fix for monday as it could cause other problems and i will be in a mess for the weekend again.

I ought to demote you for not having orbital docks.

Total TU cost for this action is 30.

>Turn Stopped:

Mica/David - can I ask one of you to put this squadron back in orbit of Mobile Bay manually? It's getting annoying now smile.gif

Blame dan and the illness he brought to blackpool that kept me in bed for a week. The change is now at kjc as it was supposed to be at the start of last week.

Oh well, got Mica to move them manually anyway smile.gif
