Default Re: Stellar Manipulation Questions

It is even possible to warp through two newly created wormholes on the same turn, and even more if you know where exactly the new wormhole will appear. Now we are talking about faster than faster than light travel! If you are using Emergency Propulsion, it should be possible to do the same thing with three wormholes on the same turn, if you really need to get somewhere fast.

Some Stellar Manipulation happens before everything else: Stellar Construction should happen before movement (Roanon created a Ringworld on the same turn as I sent in a fleet IIRC, but the Ringworld was created before my vessels could destroy those bases), and Stellar Destruction usually happens before movement.

Stellar Destruction is not exactly consistent however: it may happen before day 1, or it may happen on day 3 or day 4, though I have seen no link with speed (a vessel with a speed of 15 did not trigger the Stellar Destruction on day 2, and a speed of 1 did not result in the order being executed on day 30). Setting the vessel on Sentry should result in the Stellar Destruction happening at once if there is an enemy in the same system, regardless of speed, but sometimes it will happen immediately without this order.

Hmm, I am wondering if a similar pattern would not apply to other Stellar Manipulation orders.
