What am I missing here?

PS: SE-IV 1.84 w/ TDM v3.2
I have had this happen too. In some configurations of warp points relative to planets, it just is beyond the AI go do the pathing right. The only thing I can suggest is to consider placement of your resupply facilities relative to pathing thru the systems so that the amount of deviation required from the "straight line" is minimized. Wow, that sounded like a math class! This is another example of a good place to improve the AI.
