Default Order of Battle Question

I suppose I could test this myself but I'll ask here first . . .

When a Drone laden ship jumps through a defended wormhole do the defenders fire first and then the drones are launched - or - do the drones get launched before the defenders gets to fire.

Also is there a published order of battle and turn sequence? I am always wondering for instance if my resources conVersion happens before my retrofitting or how much do my ships move - if at all - when a worm hole opens. OR do my ships in simultaneous move and fire or fire and move etc. etc.

I think I've got it down more or less, but an official published Version would be awesome.

Default Re: Order of Battle Question

All of the defenders move and fire first, before the incoming ship launches the drones.

For both sides, their ships will move, launch and fire before their units do. (I'm not sure what order each side's units go in.)

I think there is a turn sequence published somewhere, but don't know offhand where.

In sequential turn games, everything happens when you give the order, unless the selected object can't do the order (e.g. a ship with no movement left won't move until next turn). Timing issues like your question can only come up in simultaneous turn games.

Rex I believe that the worm hole opens on movement number 10 for the turn... So if you time it right they should kill about 3 of my planets

I think SJ has it all written down when things occur...

I am not to sure...
