Quick question When you tow a ship into a SB with Force...

Quick question
When you tow a ship into a SB with Force Surrender set as the primary mission, does the towed ship surrender then, or on the following turn?

Host order says SB Primary Orders happen after towing ships move, (But it doesn’t mention Force Surrender)

Thanks if you can clarify.

Now I'm a bit confused.
Are there multiple host orders? This is the one I printed and studied http://planets.nu/documentation/host-order which has step 34 as Ion Storms.
How would I figure out which one is applicable to the game I'm playing, or if one is absolute and just missed being deleted.

There is only 1 host order, but sometimes things get added, or the documentation team improves the description. This means there are multiple files describing it. I prefer:

@Charon, yes it is a bit confusing. The one you referenced is the old documentation and is no longer being updated.

The one I referenced is the active documentation (you can tell because it has a white background, a search textbox in the upper right, and the link starts with "help.planets.nu").

The one Martinr referenced is, I believe, a re-styled copy of the same one as I referenced, and is the one that is linked from the How To Play section of the main site.

Don't trust Google (or other search engines) to send you to the right page. The admins and documentation volunteers know about this issue, but there is little the volunteers can do at this time.

Thanks for the answers. I started reading all I could after joining in December. From the amount I've read I imagine the documentation team has their pens going full time to try to keep up.
I'll go re-learn the host order. Will probably explain why some things haven't gone as I expected.

Thanks all for the quick responses.
