Ships not moving

[Longstreet]

Hi guys. Has anyone run into a problem with ships not moving over several turns? Orders were cleared and reordered to move but ships stay put. Even new ships are not moving. Thanks.

Not to be insulting but I have to ask the obvious. Did you put engines on the design? I now that sounds nuts but when laying out a ship with weapons and armor it is not unheard of to miss the engines. Second question are they not moving at all or are they just moving one hex per turn. In other words did you make sure that you put supplies on the ship? The engines will hold a default amount of supplies but not enough to sustain them without additional sources. This second question doesn’t’ sound like your problem as you are saying even new construction is not moving. Please check the above two as the first (no engines) really sounds like the problem you are having.

Thanks for the quick reply President-Elect-Shang. No insult taken. Ships all have engines and plenty of supplies. This is a 70+ turn game we are playing. This has just happend the last four or five turns. Not efected me just my friend. Ships are given orders and the next turn they have not moved and have no orders. Thanks .

More details please. Was this SEIV or SEV? Was the move order to a place that ths ships could get to? i.e. did it have a clear path without going thru known minefields or "systems to avoid"? Were the ships in a fleet with 1 or more disabled ships?

Sorry should have said what game. Playing latest patched SEV. All ships empire has are not moving. Even colony ships are not loading population.

Do they show up as having movement points?
Check your empire options\orders tab for the ship orders:

is the "ships should clear their orders upon entering a system containing an enemy presence" or ".... containing any other empire" switched on? If so, could this be the problem?
