How to skip ship?

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.

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

Thanks

I see you are the expert.

Guess you missed my post then... that does NOT work in sequential turn games, only in simultaneous movement. You can not tell a ship to move to its current sector in turn-based movement games, because they move instantly, so the order disappears.

Edit:
This is what happens when you don't read every single post before posting.

My appologies for not reading your post. Please don't be offended by this, but I usually don't read your Posts.
