Question about warp manipulation sequence

[Slick]

...every time a ship gets to move ... it will execute as many orders as possible...

Too true. A subtle point here also is that if the last movement resulted in a battle, then non-movement orders won't be performed that turn. Example: a "capture planet" fleet captures a planet on its last movement point in that turn. If the fleet had further orders to load troops and continue capturing other planets, it won't load troops until the next turn.
