The turn seems to be stuck on turn 5563. It seems that it's been stuck on that turn for some time now. |

A possible thing to think about adding would be a Do Once check box for orders.
This would remove and order from the order list after doing it.
Specifically so you could add a one time set of actions into a loop that would then be removed. |

How about an option on the Loop order to remove any orders in front of the order you are looping to. Sounds confusing but if you set 3 orders then set another 5 order that you want to loop there would be a checkbox on the loop order and when it fires it will loop back to the 4th order like you told it to then delete the ones in front of it.
.... Perhaps just a checkbox for "Do Once" or "remove after completion" would be easier =)
Yeah, you don't really need to remove orders that happen outside a loop automatically. Having the option would be nice but isn't truly needed.
My thoughts on it would so you could, for example, pick up a ACP, move, deploy, pick up new structures output, move, sell then loop back to the first move while having the deploy order removed.
As I have been doing it I've been building the loop after the deploy order. |

When it comes to movement though - based on what you say when I am viewing the map at the sector level that means each square is actually 25*25 -- 625 units of distance so that travelling from Sol to Gulyaev (3 squares on the vertical axis, 5 squares on the horizontal) would take for a basic ship moving 10 per turn... about 500 turns? (8*625 = 5000) correct? Seems quite the distance 
Actually they would move NW diagonally 2 then turn W for 2 more.
But yeah, it takes a long time to travel between systems so plan to move in FORCE. Plan to build new military buildings, and most of your planned production when you step foot into a system you want to move into. Also upgrading the movement speed of a freighter can reduce that travel time quite a bit (a freighter gains 2 speed each upgrade).
In alpha I ran a water tanker (or was it basic minerals I forget) from Pluto to Odegard with 3 move upgrades and 2 cargo upgrades and for my purposes at the time it was WAY more than I needed or could sell with out over supplying my city.

About Forts...

Forts provide denfense the same way that shield bases or very large ships do, they just soak a larger share of the damage and take less of in it turn.
Combat damage is delt to every thing participating based on its size, the larger it is the more damage % it will take. Then on top of that each unit deals a different amount of damage to eachother.
There's a chart in the guide showing all this.

Adding a negative to a negative is adding...
Putting numbers in () is a way of displaying negative numbers in various systems.
Also there is a drop down there that tells you what each production facility is costing you and what each unit that is selling is making you. It's labeled Detail Type. |

If you can figure out how many turns it takes for your transport that is selling to do a loop you can then tell it to pick up only the spare amount that isn't being used.
You can also do what I've done before and just make a large transport to sit in your production area to sell excess off. |

A ground unit's level is it's size. You can't get a level 3 unit into a regular frigates hangar space.

It takes roughly 271 turns for a speed 10 freighter to get from Sol to Gulyaev. |

Another option is to make the cost of running a distribution center scale differently than production buildings. Say a base one with 6 sell slots costs 1k a turn and only increase by 100-200 per level from there.
Also having them increase sell slots by 2 would be fine as well. |

How over flooded is the market in said city? A city that has it's demand filled and the % drops below 100 it will start taking less and less. |

If a unit reaches the stated limits it ends the order just as if there was nothing to attack. Just set a move order after your attack order. |
