                              Command : DISABLE

NAME
   disable - Disable Updates

Level: Expert

SYNTAX
   [##:##] Command : disable

No  updates  will  fire  if you disable them.  The "show updates" command will
report 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
actually missed, however, the  Empire  clock  automatically  recalibrates,  to
maintain 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.
