The option "No warp points"

What is the purpose of this option when beginning a new game? I've played with it selected for quite a few turns but I can't seem to escape my home system.

Surely I am missing something?

Thanks

You need to research stellar manipulations I believe to get the ability to open warp points.

Awesome thanks.

even then, in se5 you need to know where a system IS before you can open a warp point there.
in se4 you knew the locations of the systems from the begining of the game, so that was not a problem

apparently not, because SEV doesn't make you pick a system, it just gives a list of system names and distances..

I miss the old method.
