    Jumping to system Yank (146)
    Jump aborted. You ran out of TU's.
    Total TU cost for this action is 240.

Squadron of 2 ships, ATAT Masnachwr (47137) and ATAT Corwynt (59894), tried to jump to Yank as part of the Move to Starbase order. Masnachwr has better efficiency and Corwynt had submitted orders to request an update. Corwynt didn't report any actions on it's turn and still has 277 TU. Masnachwr got the above message. My ships are only 1 jump away from yank (100tu action) so I have no idea where the cost of 240 tu came from.

Every time a squadron checks squadron orders, every ship in the squadron has TUs reduced to the lowest ship TUs in the squadron. So presumably there was one ship that had 240 TUs less than this ship and so 240 TUs were removed.

The wording of the turn result needs attention as this tells you nothing and only serves to mislead.

I agree - not sure how easy it would be, but "ship X was short of TU's" would be clearer

I can't imagine it would be that difficult, as they must know which ship was shortest of tus when they do a squadron update.

Although i make no claims on knowing exactly how they do turns i can't think of many ways you'd do it without that knowledge.
