because there isn't much combat at all right now, the military sits around also, although you can make them a group with some freighters and they can escort convoy.]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2016 17:59:43 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1254-how-do-you-all-use-orders.aspx
I'll give you a few examples:

1) My transports / freighters which sell stuff - they get orders to pickup stuff at my production center then go to city A to sell, come back, pickup, go to city B etc... cycling through 5-6 different cities each which makes it about 21-25 orders per unit, assuming things are simple (more and more, they are not)

2) Scouts - my favorite little units. They also have the longest order list. Basically they have a holding command list (which puts them in a holding pattern, whatever that might be) and then different "mission" sets orders e.g. picking up some artifact or deploying an ACP or even trading if that's what I feel like. Every mission loops back to the holding command list and then whenever I need them to do something I simply activate the relevant order and voila!

Pure combat units though - they seem to just sit around until I need them to actually do something. Kinda boring :p

How do you guys use orders? How long are your orders lists?

Just curious I am sure there are a lot more things which I've not yet thought of that can be done with the loop orders!]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2016 14:15:13 GMT
