                              Command : DISABLE

NAME
   disable - Disable Updates

Level: Expert

SYNTAX
   [##:##] Command : disable

No updates will fire if you disable them.  The "show updates" command will re-
port the fact.

Disabling  updates  this  way does not stop the Empire clock.  Stuff using the
clock, like BTU growth, continues normally.  Should a scheduled update be  ac-
tually  missed, however, the Empire clock automatically recalibrates, to main-
tain the fixed number of ETUs between updates.   This  effectively  stops  the
clock.

You  should not use this command as a tool for implementing your update sched-
ule!  Enabling and disabling updates by hand is far too error prone, and  your
players  can't  trust the show command to find out when the next update really
is.  Use the update schedule file instead.
