Default Re: Strange warp points question

The game automatically places these markers? Does this also mean that my ships will automatically avoid these warp points?

But then, that doesn't account for how it is that I can see my ship entering the WP I chose but then it somehow appears at the other end of the sector entering one of the other warp points in the sector (and goes off somewhere I never told it to go).

Just thought of something--am I seeing these "M" marked warp points because I have sensors that can see a particular level of mines? Because I think that in these sectors where I'm seeing the "M" I have a ship that has long range sensors or gravitic scanning or something like that.

That is a marker that you have encountered a minefield in that sector in the past. It doesn't just have to be around Warppoints, the marker can be put on any sector. You can even manually put one on a sector, even if there are actually no mines present. I think you have to remove the marker manually, too, even if all the mines are swept/used.
