Did you know this was possible?
 

That you can have a ship fly through a system and yet it is still unexplored? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Using the trick I saw in another thread wereby if you enter an unexplored system you can click a random sector and then you can continue to move into the system instead of stopping at the warp.
Well if that sector you pick happens to be a another warp point you fly through the sector into the next without seeing it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Did you know this was possible?
 

There's a similar bug with race 'contact'. If you hide in a sight-obscuring storm (and get there while cloaked or before any other race is present) you can attack any 'unknown' race from within it and it will not trigger 'first contact'! They will not even know you exist as long as you return to the storm or recloak before the turn is over. The 'recognition' check only occurs with warp points, it seems. I've used this to keep neutrals and even rival AI empires from growing too fast... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Funny, but rather useless, indeed.
Have you ever visited a place for the first time with your eyes closed and saying : "No, I don't wanna know anything about this place, I'll keep my eyes closed until I'm out ! looks like an insane behaviour, doesn't it ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Funny... That explains it. I did have this happen to me, but I pretty much ignored it. Thought something funky happened?!?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Do you mean it warped wiothout having been ordered to warp?
I thought if you happened to aim at a warppoint it would go to that location and wait there.

I have done this plenty o ftimes and never accidently warped.

Re: Did you know this was possible?
 

I suppose it happened in a simmove game...
what if you play the replay clip? does the system get explored (visible) and then becomes unknown again when the ship warps out?
