Hi

I moved a squadron using squad orders on ship 4613, but the ships ran out of TUs before reaching their destination - they all stopped in the same location so that worked ok. I still have pending orders available even though it states there is an error in the pending orders. The pending orders are only on ship 4613 however I'm assuming they will be used for all ships in the squad.

It seems the ships ran out of TUS and the program immediately tried to action the next order in the list - in this case the recreation order.

1. Is this a bug?
2. What do I do to get around this problem and get my ships to Opportunity?

Thanks

Andy Steel

>TU 84: Move to Starbase {3995} {Dock - Yes}
Move to Gamma 12
Move to Gamma 11
DTR STARBASE Opportunity (3995) is not at accessible from your location.
Total TU cost for this action is 8.

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

Nope, thats as it should be although it's confusing to get the error message, would be nice if it said "A Squadron member has ran out of tus" or something. On the plus side the squadron recoveres nicely from all the 'failed' orders i've seen so far.

..has the start squad orders then move to said starbase and the rec visit so I don't see there being a problem.

I had this a few weeks ago where you order a squadron to a base and the squadron grinds to a halt, for no apparent reason, after making two movements.

Spoke to Mica about it then and the problem was passed to David. I have not heard it being fixed yet.

I got round it by breaking the move to base order up into its three bits, move to quad, orbit planet, then dock

Fixed, multipart orders were not working correctly.
