The order makes the selected Task Group orbit the system body.
Literally, it goes into orbit. If you watch the system view it will slowly circle the object.

I don't think you can orbit other taskgroups.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I wonder if there would be enough gravitational difference for there to even be a satellite of a satellite of a satellite. What would a body orbiting a moon be called, anyway?

A satellite, I believe.

So many useless scientists. Oh well, more people to act as cannon fodder for the RNG.

Good luck, I got smeared my first encounter.

Also, is there a way to find a specific team? I seem to have misplaced my xeno team...

In the Population and Production screen, you can go to the Teams tab and just click through the colonies on the left until you find them.

from the f4 screen also, I don't know how it's called, but you can see team members and where they are located (you have to choose leading scientist):




bte, I have no hope about the combat, I'm so much behind in tech, but I just want to see if I had built a functioning ship (with working sensors fire controls and such)

Cool, thanks.

I assume you get RP if you find "technical details" of something? My engineers dug up a mine and found details for mining production 60.

You just flat get the tech. It can be pretty crazy when you get several mining/construction tech finds in a row.

Anyway, about PDCs, how do they work? I design them, then what?
