Newbie questions :)

Hi.
To answer your questions briefly...
Yes.
No.
Because.
=-)

To reply in more detail:
The documentation is famously bad but with a community like we have there really isn't any need for any docs beyond the tutorial. Just come on in and ask away.
Reminds me actually, do we have an SEIV faq for those issues which keep coming up again and again?

As for stacking orders, yes you can and it's very useful. It does have a few flaws though:
-You can't tell a ship to unload cargo it doesn't have - so you can't say (for example) move to planet, load fighters, warp, launch fighters, because it won't accept the "launch" command until the fighters are loaded.

- there is no "wait" command, which would be really really useful. I've prattled on about this before somewhere, so I won't bore you all further.

-And the board... It has been mentioned before and I've a feeling someone has mentioned this to the site operators. You do get used to it though. The simple solution is to stay on the forum 24/7 so you never have to catch up on more than one message at a time=-)

------------------
There is an exception to every rule. Including this one.
