    Total TU cost for this action is 300.


ermm.... this isn't good

appears to have used 300tus in every ship in the squadron as well (all 3 of them)
David Bethel
One of teh ships had zero tus. It syncs tus before and after each order and i've seent hat happen.
ptb
ahh well that explains it, i guess that solved the 'free tu' problem as well wink.gif

i assume it syncs to the lowest tu ship in all cases? makes sense i guess as they'd be travelling in a convoy type thing.
Frabby
Possible problem: What if one ship in a squadron has less TUs than the others, but a higher efficiency? Imagine a newly built ship which just had R&R done and left dock. It has less TUs than the others but 150% efficiency which could roughly balance it out.
ptb
I suppose a sync of (efficently * tus remaining) rather than just tus would make more sense in that case, of course that might be getting too complicated?

Mica Goldstone
By the same token you may have a ship with lower efficiency... seems to be swings and roundabouts.
David Bethel
Its will not be a major problem providing you don't plan on doing very complicate things with squadrons. Anyway seem to be tending towards working now, i did predict they would be a disaster to start with and i was not wrong.
