Did you know this was possible?

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

Do you by chance have it set to "exploration order" after it has warped into the unknown system?

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.

Did you know that in this way you can get the names of unexplored systems?
Just order a ship to move anywhere in an unexplored sys (doesn't work with "warp", AFAIK), then view the ship's orders...

Not very useful to exploit, but...
