Abandon planet!

[CW]

Who knows if the abandon planet order is executed before or after ship movements?

I think it happens as soon as you hit the 'abandon planet' button doesn't it? I have never noticed any time lag

I think CW is asking about in a simultaneous turn game. There is no lag in a single-player or hotseat game. But in a simultaneous turn game you give the order and then it happens during the execution phase on the host machine.

Although I can't say exactly when it happens CW. You could give the planet something in it's queue to build, and then give it the abandon order on the same turn. Then check the construction log to see if it built the item before it executed the abandon order.

you are probably right, I have never played a simultaneous turn game

[Skulky]

and you could always take control of an AI and use their ship to attck ur planet and see if it does it, or if the order is executed (as i think it is) as part of the movement phase as an order for the planet. Launching sats/etc. is an order givento the planer as a move order.

Also does anyone know if you can launch subsets of sats/mines. not all of them at once.

OOOOoooo, you might want to practice that a little in single player, it changes the feel of the game a little bit (ie, no tactical combat, etc). Especially since you have this big showdown coming up....
