No, you don't see them move. Next turn, you'll se them in their new position. There's an option (turn replay) which allows you to see what happened but sometimes it doesn't works (at least, some patches ago).

BTW, you can't give orders involving unknows systems. This means that you'll generally lose any MPs left after you warp in a new, unexplored warp hole.

Try to play some turns in a sim move game on your own (not multiplayer) before next turn. You'll learn how it works without risking to compromise your empire development in the multiplayer game.

Yuo won't lose your surplus movemnt points eithr - you can use them next turn if you wish.

Eh, no. You can't. If you have a ship with 6 move and you only move it 4 squares on turn 1 you can only move it 6 squares on turn 2, not 8 as you would be able to if surplus movement (unused) was stored for later use. It's not so any moves not used is lost.

Jubala, are you sure? I'm positive I have had ships take advantage of unused points in simultaneous games. I'll look into it later.

Yep, pretty damn sure.
