Default Re: Stellar manip and movement in simultaneous game

In simultaneous movement Stellar Manipulation (sm) happens first in a movement impulse so if you don't move your ship it will close or open before anything else happens.

If you move before you open or create a planet the opening will happen first on the particular movement impulse.

You can have a warp closer close and THEN move to another spot - but it won't move to a warp point (wp) and close - even if it is sitting on wp and the sm button is activated as an option.

With a Matter Gravity Sphere (MGS), on the other hand, if the sm button is activated (when the ship is on a planet or asteroid belt) you can move and then create a planet.

Additionally you can have a warp opener move and then open.

The only restriction for sm in the middle of a turn is that you have to have a movement point left so you can't do these at the end of your movement.

The same rules apply for the other stellar sm components. So to destroy a star you can move off of a star and then back onto to it to destroy it.
