1. The silly one. I'm playing my first PBW game and I see everytime my ship get into a new system it losses its remnant move point. It doesn't happen when playin solo. Is it normal or am I missing something?

The situation you are describing is like doing the following in a sequential turn game:
1) Giving an order to warp through the warppoint
2) Pressing End turn.
You get the same result in both modes, but in sequential you also get an opportunity to see what's in the system and give further orders based on that new info before you end turn.
In simultaneous turns, you can still give orders for after your ship has warped into a new system... They just can't involve anything in that new system until the next turn when you get the system map.
One thing you can do is:
Order a ship to warp through an unexplored warppoint, then give an order to warp through a second unexplored warppoint.
What will happen when the turn is processed is thus:
- The ship warps and maps the system.
- The ship moves back through to the original system, and heads towards the second warppoint.
- If the second is close enough, you can explore both in one turn.
This is especially useful if the first unexplored system turns out to be a powerful variety of black hole... You ship will warp in, and back out before the pull of the hole can suck it down.
If the system is normal, with planets, you can use the turn replay to see what planets were colonized and what ships were where for the few days your ship was in the system.
