Did you know this was possible?

It has never happened to me and I only play simultaneous.

Because, probably, you just issue "warp" command when entering an unexpored system. The phenomena in question occurs only whem you order warp and then move to some sector in an unexplored system and warp. If it happends , by pure luck, to be a warp point, you zip through.

from which we can guess that it clears warp orders at the end of the turn.

Well I kind of assumed my explaination was what happend. I gave an order to warp then clicked a sector in the unkown system. (it was simultaneous) When I got the next turn I was mystified as to what happened to my ship. I evenutally found it at the warp point of the next system. :-)

And no the move replay did not show the system that is still shown unexplored.

i was talking about the computer process. move, set state to warp, move some more with an unintentional warp, end of turn, clear all warp states.

Nope, I never stop at a warp point.

I set it to warp into an unknown system and then points at a location where I (from the system map) belive the next wormhole will be in the unknown system, so that I next turn can aim it straight.
(Done this 100+ times)

Are you sure you pressed Warp and then move, not warp then warp and clicked in the unknown system?
Do you by chance have it set to "exploration order" after it has warped into the unknown system?

Thanks guys for this trick, I'll try this out next turn on PBW.
Been playing this game for so long, and still learning.

There technically isn't an "explore" order; the Explore button just looks for the nearest unexplored warp point and issues a warp order for it. I find the described behavior very, very odd.

[Ruatha]

Ok, so you can't put in orders:
Warp
Explore
?

Checked, you are quite right! It adds the unknown warmhole in the present system to the order queue.

But you can add "move to" orders into the next unknown system to the queue, and then the next and so on. I don't know if it will warp on though....

So did the ship disappear after warping in the unexplored system? And it reappeared when it warped out of it? was the second system already known?
