I gave the repeat thing a try and discovered some strange behavior:
My ships are set to cancel orders if an enemy is
present in a system. There is no enemy in my system (and it's too early for the cloaking tech). Only some Ally ships are present. But the orders get cancelled.
That's misleading. When it says "when an enemy is present", it really means "when an ALIEN is present"
On another test I tried to set up an automated transport route into a neighbor system. I failed. While assigning orders, the movement takes place immediately. As soon as the movement points are spent no further orders were accepted. Is this a fact or something I did wrong?
hmmm. It's been a while since I've done tactical, but I thought that you could still chain together orders for a ship that had no movement left. Any tactical-savvy people out there have an answer for him on this one?
Are documents available on "HOWTO automate tasks" ?
Your best source for "how to" info is, well, this forum! There has been some discussion on a newbie FAQ and the like, but I don't know what came of it. For now, your best way to get an answer to a question is to ask it here.
