Orion combats
On an Orion universe only. These functions exist everywhere. Once the universe is known, if it has no Orion, the settings return the error this universe does not have Orion: the module reads nothing and write nothing: see Orion.
These are the settings of the "Run PvE combats" section of the Orion page. The worker takes a PvE combat card, reads its waves, simulates each one in the worst case (the whole total on the strongest type, margin included) and only sends a fleet if it wins without a single loss. A wave the game hides for lack of Espionage means refusal. A mission taken that no fleet can serve holds back its level and those above for about six hours: no taking and no scan at those levels. None of these functions sends anything by itself, and PvP combats stay closed.
