Shade Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 So, I was wondering, the Convoy rules say other orders than those listed may be allowed for convoys in the future, can the order to have a fleet join a convoy route be part of another convoy set of orders? In other words, can I link convoys in this way? I'm about to build a convoy route in parallel with another route already in place that then splits off to a different world, then comes back. I was thinking it would be cool if I could just have the route on its return just give the order to have a fleet join the 1st convoy where the two intersect/merge, that way I could save on orders to plot it all the way back to the homeworld. You would then need to manually transfer from one convoy to the next when the fleet goes out again, but if convoys are many systems out that may be more worthwhile than entering another set of identical orders to bring ships back to the homeworld all in different convoys.

KOTEC Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Dear Shade, Don't think that you can get a fleet to transfer between convoy routes as part of the convoy route instructions.... you might have to lengthen the convoy instructions but why not give it a try and let us know how you get on?

EternusIV Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Thats pretty slick, Shade. That would be a nice feature. Convoys have turned out to be an interesting animal for me. I screw em up 1/3 of the time or I outgrow em because I change strategies/resource needs. Barring those two events, the remaining product is indeed "nifty" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuth Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I know how you feel Eternus, I still goof up on mine...but I'm learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cargus10 Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Didn't Pete say he was going to also look at adding an order to remove a fleet from a convoy that could be put into the convoy sequence? That sure would help me out...Pete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
