On the order editor, what is the real difference between transfer position and transfer control?


The reason I ask is trying to determine how to transfer an aff ship to become player-owned.

Transfer position is to move a position you run (whether player-owned or aff-owned). The position will still stay as aff-owned if kept within your aff.

Transfer Control allows a higher ranked political to transfer any aff-owned position around (if you have an aff-owned position, the PD could move it to someone else, for example)

Id be interested in this too - from what Ive seen the only way to change from aff owned to player owned is by the player paying cash to the affiliation. I hope there is a way for politicals to vote on it instead (instead of having to pay the cash, then getting the cash back - or not<g>).

Something along the lines of:
[Sell Item] to [Position or Political] for [Amount]

Order
Sell (123456) to (74311) for (120000)

Or maybe a toggle to Transfer Position/Control Position:
Target Position: ______
Dest Position: ______

Toggle
1. Aff-Owned
2. Player-Owned

Sure would make things easier...

Yes, some form of order like that would be useful. So far, the only way I've done it is by transferring affiliation funds to the player (which requires an issue to pass), who can then use those funds to buy the ship...
