Default Re: Scenario tips & tricks

Ed - sentry order is a wonder.
What it does:
*When sentry canceled (enemy sighted/supplies running low) it performs the next order.
In simultaneous you can hide ships in systems. once the player enters the system, there is no way he can dodge the alien ship and will surely get attacked. The only problem is that, IIRC, Repeat Orders cancels out after a combat. Too bad.

Basicly you put a ship on sentry and give it orders. once it canceled the ship will perform its orders. like blow-up system or whatsnot(is S.Manip is scheduled as an order in simultaneous?) and besides, its great for remote mining (you only give it orders once... go there, sit sentried being skipped in the next ship list, once supplies run short run towards ressuply depot and then go back... all done once)
