Host Order

[edit] Overview

This is an advanced topic for advanced players. This is a list of steps that the host will run through as your turn is processed. Some players will want to know how their submitted orders will process, in which order, so that they can maximum spending, movement, ship devices, etc. When a turn processes, it runs through the Host utility. All of the TRN files from players are combined into a set of instructions for the Host to process using the Universe data that it has been given. The set of instructions that the Host has will always occur in a certain order. That order can sway the decisions that you make during the creation of a player's TRN file using the Planets client.

1. (Tick 100): Towed movement, Standard Hyp movement.
2. Perform Transfers.
3. Normal movement.
4. Fleet/escort movement.
5. Intercept movement.
6. Docked movement.
7. Towed movement.
8. Minefield hits.
9. Combat.
10. Scans.
11. Dropping pods.
12. Docking.
