If a Wait for TU's order is in your pending orders, it will trigger updates appropriately even if it is not the next order on the list. Having a "Wait for 60 TU's" order at the end of the list would thus result in an update being returned every day.
For example:
The last order for one of my ships yesterday (day 788):
| CODE |
| >TU 65: Wait for Tus {180} {Exact - No} >>Turn Stopped: Until 180 tus are available. |
Included amongst the pending orders was:
| CODE |
| | 45. Wait for Tus {120} {No} | |
End result - I got a turn today (day 789) starting with the following:
| CODE |
| Starting Location: Eridani (615) Orbit - Quadrant Gamma 4 - Solo System (121) Crew are working more efficiently due to R&R. >>TU 125: Wait for Tus {180} {Exact - No} >>Turn Stopped: Until 180 tus are available. |
As I say, not necessarily a bug, but definitely something to plan for!

Yeah, I (and others) have been adding "Wait for 1 TU" at the end of a long string of orders to keep any eye on progress without having to send for updates manually. Works like a charm. (Should also stop ships hanging around for so long, thus helping to deny pirates a little bit - Pending orders run as soon as they get enough TUs instead of when you remember to get an update.)
(David, please don't change this it's very useful
Or add another order that does the same thing (automatically send updates until all pending order are done) in it's place? Maybe a standing order toggle?)
