Did you know this was possible?

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.

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.

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?

Yup that is what happened. The second system was unknown at the begining.

In response to another post, yea I guess it is possible I clicked warp and then accidentaly chose the warp button when I clicked in the unknown system.

Yep, just the same as if you stack up orders to
move to {other side of galaxy}
resupply at nearest

it will fly all the way across the galaxy, then fly all the way back to whatever resupply depot happened to be nearest when&where the order was issued. I'd be much happier with a system that only resolved the "nearest" part when it came to execute the order.
