Hi,

games on this host normally use the PBP queue. For those, changing an order will lose your queue position according to the rules described by Vchc.

For the PAL queue, there is a loophole/workaround. If you have a build order on a good position and want to change that one, use the "PB1".."PB9" friendly codes to re-arrange your build so that the order you wish to change is now at a bad place. Change it, and swap the new order back. This takes a few turns to do but allows you to keep a good position.

For a PBP queue, advice would therefore be to change only orders in bad places that you wish to execute as priority builds anyway. If you are awarded a priority build, it doesn't matter how far back in the queue that order is; you're paying with priority points. This could be a sensible option for cheaper special ships (like: you really really want that Falcon with torps, but cannot pay for Selphyrs right now, so you order one with less).
