Abandon planet!

[geoschmo]

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.
