Re: Stellar manip and movement in simultaneous game

Maybe not. I'm in a PBW game right now where I had a WP closer on a WP with and enemy fleet entering the system. I gave the closer orders to warp, close WP, and continue on to the second destination, all the while being shadowed by a small protective fleet. The next turn I almost retched upon seeing that the closer warped and then cleared its orders! I had the distinct "joy" of seeing my expensive Stellar Manip ship sitting on an open WP (with the enemy FLEET on the other side of WP) with my protective fleet 5 moves away (where the closer should have been).
My only hope now is that stellar manipulations occur before physical movement in simultaneous games. God I miss normal turns.
