no, it does not seem like you do. random movement selects a random square and moves you x sectors towards it. once you arive at the square, you stop moving. excess movement is discarded. and you do not pass through intermediary sectors either, you just teleport to your final location, just as in a blackhole system.

Regarding the fully loaded Porportions sphereworld, its simple enough to start the game with one. Its resource, research, and intel generation capabilities are all quite impressive - as are its planetary shield totals. It would take an impressive fleet to even get through its sheiding, much less start to damage weapons platforms and facilities.

Maybe that would make an interesting max-tech porportions game, one player controlls a sphereworld, and the others race to crack it.
