That's exactly what I was trying to do. The blue route lines were stopping though once I got to a certain point off of the ideal path. However, it may actually take the path I am wanting it to, it just might not be able to display it with the route lines.

I have been using this for a while and it is better to place the minefields such that you "herd" the ships rather than make a tunnel. Just put enough minefileds so that the AI will go where you want. Example, if your planet R has a resupply facility and there are warp points (W) on the top and bottom of the sytem, place a few minefield markers (M) like this:

________________W

______________MMMMRMMMM

____________________W

The AI will go thru the R instead of going around. No need to get more complex.

Slick.
