What are they supposed to do? If they're meant to tell ships not to fire certain weapon types, it doesn't work..

[Hopelessnoob]

right now you can mass retreat with it or fire at will, Mass retreat does exactly what it says.

Fire at will cancels all current orders but retreat(i think).

[cp252]

Those are not standing orders, they are the buttons below the 'standing orders' button.

[Hopelessnoob]

oh my mistake i have no clue.

[hadesian]

Hmm...
When starfarer gets a bit more tactical and you maybe can't see opponents at range until they start firing, they could be useful for an ambush.
I'd rather though be able to reassign everything and see what ships are doing from it instead.

[cp252]

Yes, but for now I use them for making my ships not slaughter the retreating ships I want to capture.
Or I would if they worked.

I never found out if Standing Orders worked at all.  Even when I unchecked "Fire Support", I had a Lance still firing and some Pilums still being shot off.
