Missions - an overview
Your 2IC gives orders to your ships and fleets by creating missions of different kinds.
A mission involves these elements:
- A fleet of one or more ships
- A movement order, specifying where the fleet is to sail and at what speeds
- A description indicating the overall purpose of the mission - such as "Convoy" or "Offensive Patrol". See mission types
- Rules of engagement, telling the fleet, and the ships in it, when enemy forces should be engaged and when they should not.
