Default Re: What gets executed first in Simultaneous games?

Here's what I think I've seen posted elsewhere:

The turn gets divided into 30 days and these days are cycled player by player in order. Movement is by sector so a ship with 6 moves would move once every 5 days (I don't know if it moves first on day 1 or day 5 or ???). Build queues divide the work they can do into 30 parts and go until either end-of-month or work complete.

Does this model fit observations? I haven't tested it myself and don't really try to take advantage but it seems to fit some of the stuff I have seen.

So most of those senarios would depend on turn order, number of moves, construction cost etc. For example, in scenario 4 if you are two sectors away, catching the other ship would be impossible (2 sectors away) if you have the same number of movement points.

On the other hand, if you were one sector away, who moves first might determine the answer.

If anyone really knows how it works, please post (especially those who know the code).
