Once the object follows the order, that order is no longer in its to-do list, and the "repeat orders" button has nothing left to repeat.

Now a ship can be given repeat orders in turned based, you just have to be sure it doesn't have enough movement points left to complete the order.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If your ship/planet holds more units in its cargo than it is allowed to launch in one turn, it should be possible to set repeat orders also, or am I wrong? For planets it would be hard because of the 1000 units they are allowed to launch per turn.

Never tried to find out. For that reason. Might be worth modding to see.

[EDIT] Only 100 units are allowed in any one sector so you would have to mod to see

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You could launch a hundred, retrieve them, launch again, retrieve until utnil you've done a thousand launches, then hit launch again and repeat. Of course, if you've only got one sat on the planet, it could take you a while to set that up...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I am just crazy enough to try that.

I tried to give repeat orders to a planet in a simultaneous game, but it appears to not be possible. Sometimes in SEIV, I feel like I'm fighting the interface more than other players. :\

Re: Launching Fighters
 

You can have more than 100 fighters in 1 sector.

"I tried to give repeat orders to a planet in a simultaneous game, but it appears to not be possible."

Huh? This works fine, I'm doing it in several of my games. Unless you mean sequential mode?
