Clan Elder 'Keen Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 1) Can we get a rename convoy route order? I have a habit of appending orders onto routes and what used to be a "To System X" route becomes a "To System Y" one. I would like the name to better reflect the changing contents. 2) Is there any reason why LFE could not be in a convoy route? Currently XLFE and convoy routes will conflict depending which executes first. I would like the ability to switch a fleet from a movement route to a LFE route instead of having the logistical nightmare of deleting and reissuing standing orders. 3) The rulebook mentions a Disembark Army Force order on page 6-2. Does the DAF order currently exist? As I have not found it, I assume OC has replaced this function and the rulebook is obsolete? Is there any reason why we couldn't have this DAF order to unload divisions directly into an existing army force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A higher priority IMO would be to fix the problem that you can't OC ground divisions in to captured population groups. I think it's silly that I can't reinforce a garrison other than by building new divisions there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you unload your army group into another pop group that army division will defend EVERY pop group of yours on the planet and help keep those unruly aliens in check. That DAF question was asked literally years ago and the OC order works just fine. There is no real need for it. Now if and when there is the technology that allows direct dropping of ground forces from orbit onto a planetary surface ..... then we might have need of such an order.

hobknob Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I could really like some additional tools to manage convoy routes. There have been plenty suggested in the past so any of them would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octagon999 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 How about the ability to DELETE convoy routes? RENAME would also be swell. Oh, and with the number of HW's now under my control, a less expensive (in real $$$) way to change/implement production would be peachy too.

ShadowKitsune Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 There is an eliminate Convoy Route order. I'll have to dig through the board archives to find it, but it's there.

ShadowKitsune Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 My bad ... I was thinking of the ECNV Order which lets you eliminate and/or rearrange portions of your existing Convoy Route. There is no global Delete Convoy Route [DCNV] Order. -SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drasn Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Here's a quick snippet from my last turn. I was clearing all of the orders in the route to rebuild it from scratch. -----ECNV (Edit Convoy Route)----- ECNV: Convoy Route 1, CLEAR ALL, 0 The following entries have been deleted as orders for Convoy Route Convoy Route 1 ... lotsa stuff deleted ... ================================================================================ ========================================= -----CNVR (Convoy Route)----- CNVR: Convoy Route 1 Recording of orders into a Convoy Route named Convoy Route 1 will begin now. Because the Convoy Route 1 Convoy Route does not yet exist, it has been created and orders will be added to it until another CNVR (Convoy Route) order is issued or this turn ends (whichever comes first). Apparently CLEAR ALL deletes the route in addition to the orders contained in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

octagon999 Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Sorry, no intent to brag. Merely that depending on your situation you may or may not have a certain perspective. I don't brag, and I don't bluff. Best, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
