Default Somethings

I'll post some other things later.
Parameters
Solo Game
Simultaneous Movement
Patch 1.78 but I belived it occurred in early Versions

1) Issue: Can’t give launch orders to ships without Satellites to launch even though they can load one from nearby planet.
a. At Planet A with 4 Base Space Yards
i. I Built 3 Miner Deploy ES
1. Escort Hull, (Miner Deployment Escort 0001 – 0003)
2. 1 Large Satellite Launch Bay
3. Speed 9
ii. Built 1 Mineral Miner Satellite on 4th Base Space Yard
b. At Planet B built 3 Mineral Miner Satellites (located 2 sectors from Planet A)
c. Loaded Mineral Miner Satellite onto 1 Miner Deployment Escort 0001
i. Programmed several Move to Asteroid 000X > Launch Satellite > Move to Planet B > Load Satellite > Move to Asteroid 000Y ..sequences
d. Selected Miner Deploy ES 0002
i. Could not issue Launch orders.
ii. My understanding is SEIV won’t let you give orders the ship can’t execute at that time)
2) Solution:
a. Transfer the 1 Sat to Miner Deploy ES 0002
b. Program Load and Launch sequence
c. Transfer the 1 Sat to Miner Deploy ES 0003
d. Program Load and Launch sequence
e. Transfer the sat back to Miner Deploy ES 0001

3) Solution B:
Plan ahead and build enough satellites, (not always a desirable choise)

Conclusion:

Not always an option but a work a round. I have not tested this in other situations.

Move To orders through Un explored Space,

Something else:
Question
Ship Travel Distance / Turn Indicator Numbers
With the blue ship movement lines turned on
Sometimes when I give a Move To order
It counts the sectors starting with Zero
Sometimes
It counts the sectors starting with One
I have not been able to figure this out.
Any ideas?
