Default Re: Worst "oops" moments in PBW?

First PBW Game Ever:
Start next to a blackhole system full of damaging warp points. No problem, I'll just research armor and ship construction to LC, then send LC based colony ships with 10 Armor III's through. After about a year of preparation, send the colony ships through. Opps, massive death How did that happen You mean damaging warp points stop the entire move order queue and the exit warp point is 2 spaces from the center. Guess I should have spent all that time on stellar manipulation instead. Having read the FAQ extensively, I was wondering why this wasn't mentioned, when low and behold!

From the FAQ:
5.10.6 Q Is there any way to tell ships not to clear orders when go through damaging warp point? It's very annoying when there is black hole on the other side of the warp point and the warp point is two squares away from black hole... You can guess what happens, it's impossible to go through that system.
A(Baron Munchausen): There is a game setting to not clear orders when encountering enemy ships but I don't know of any setting for getting damaged by 'terrain' features. I think you are stuck with this one.
Learn something new everyday! Some are more frustrating than others though.
