Editing Orders (section)

==Standing and Conditional Orders==
A fleet may be given up to two standing orders and two conditional orders. These are issued on the Standing Orders tab. 

Standing orders are things that a fleet will attempt to do once it has run out of other orders. If a fleet has no orders given, it will attempt to do its primary standing order. If it can't, it will attempt its secondary standing order. If it can't do either one, it will throw a warning message into your [[Event Updates]] log. If you want this warning to go away, you can a) give the fleet orders manually, b) change both standing orders to "No Order", or c) issue it a dummy order (typically, Send Message) with a delay before the order happens. 

Conditional orders are much like standing orders, except that they're triggered by certain specific situations. When a conditional order triggers, the existing order queue is deleted, and the fleet will immediately try to perform the listed action. 

Both standing and conditional orders work by adding the necessary orders to your normal order queue. Once they're in the queue, they can be removed as nromal, and extra orders can be added as normal.
