orders randomly getting deleted?

Yeah, that often happens if you've got the ship set to 'Survey system' or similar and you assign additional orders without canceling the survey command.

Well that's not what I meant exactly. I had a ship with no orders and gave it an order to resupply and it projected a path and then took off in the opposite direction. This was in my first turn-based game. I think it also happens in simultaneous, but its harder to notice.
