Also you can "move to" your current location. It uses no supplies, but now the ship has an order and will be skipped on the Next/Previous command.

Thanks

I see you are the expert.

Is "location" mean "ship" in this case? May be sector?

I wouldn't call myself an expert. Just trying to be helpful.

Welcome to the forums and SE4. Keep at it and you will be hooked.

I have set Next/Previous for stopping at each location only once, but it is not work. I select the same ships again and again.

Sorry, not sure what's wrong with that option. I know the second method works.

I think what that option means is, when you have more than one ship in the same sector, it will not select through each of the ships separately when you click the 'next ship' button.

This only works for "Simultaneous Movement" games, and from the sounds of it, Vasiliy is playing a "Turn based movement" game.

Vasiliy - next game you play try, "Simultaneous Movement". This is itself makes the game harder because you can't control each ship in combat. All PBW games are simultaneous too, another good reason to play this way.

PS. Welcome and when you are ready, join a multiplayer game. You won't find it easy then
