There are two different kinds of mission orders which are similar. They are easily confused and when instructing newbies you need to be very clear which we are talking about because it LOOKS like we are giving conflicting information.
Patrol is time-on-proximity based.
Deploy is proximity only.
You often get a "Patrol" after accomplishing a "Deploy" order. I have found the "Deploy" distance to be much more varied than "Patrol" and is often between 40 and 80 miles for me. When I have strayed outside the 50 miles after a PATROL order, I've had to make up the time by patrolling longer because the clock restarted.
