I discovered Aurora from my YT feed and have a question on setting up some Standing and Conditional orders.
I have designed and built a couple basic survey ships, and a couple tankers to refuel them out in the deeper reaches of Sol rather than needing to go all the way back into Earth.
So, three part question:
- Is there a way to set up a Conditional order that uses LG: Refuel at Colony AND LG: Refuel from Tanker, with a condition of Fuel: 30% or Less. The hope being “my ship hits 30% fuel, and it goes to whichever one is closer, the colony OR the tanker”. If I put two different Conditional orders whichever one I input first will always take precedence, or the one that triggers earlier will always take precedence.
So, Order 1: LG: Refuel at Colony at Fuel: 30% or Less and Order 2: LG: Refuel from Tanker at Fuel: 30% or Less will always trigger the Colony refuel and never the Tanker refuel.
Or if I set it up Order 1: LG: Refuel at Colony at Fuel: 30% or Less and Order 2: LG: Refuel from Tanker at Fuel: 40% or Less will always trigger the Tanker refuel and never the Colony refuel.

I’ve learned I can Ctrl-Click on actual Conditions, but I don’t know that it is actually working to apply both Conditions to the Order. For example, LG: Replenish at Colony with both Conditions Fuel: 30% or Less and MSP: 30% or Less. I can Add Conditional just fine, Aurora isn’t throwing any kinds of error messages, but the visual representation of the order in both the upper panel and right-most panel shows only LG: Replenish at Colony - Fuel: 30% or Less, which is the question. Did it actually work, and if so how can I know later on that I did set up the Conditional Order?

I want to put the tankers out on the “east” and “west” of the system (eventually one in each of the cardinal directions, but that’s for later, I’m proof-of-concepting now), sitting on a pair of Rendezvous Waypoints I created. I can manually send the tankers to their correct RWP, but I want to set up a Standing Order for each fleet to go back to their specific RWP if they ever need to move off-station (even a 5M unit refueling tanker can run out eventually and need refueling, MSP, or overhaul). I can set the MV: Rendezvous Point, but is there a way to designate WHICH Rendezvous point that specific order applies to?
3a) And to genericize the question, is there a way to choose which [Colony/Tanker/Point of Interest/whatever] when setting up a Standing or Conditional Order? Like, I set up a LG: Refuel at Colony - Fuel: 30% or Less order, can I specify “Refuel at Earth and not at Mars, because Mars isn’t producing it’s own fuel and/or MSP yet”?
