Never seen before - Bug-?

Maybe post the .gam file so we can take a look at it? Nothing obvious jumps out from your description.

This happened to me once in 1.41

There used to be a 2-way warp point going between two systems, then for some unknown reason one side vanished and it became one-way (no log message or anything). I assumed that either it collapsed and a bug made it not kill the other end, or some special event made it happen.

Something like this happened to me once in some previous Version as well. Not sure what corrected just remember that something I did fixed it and I kept playing without thinking about it.

Was something obscure... might have actually been just going through it from other side or something.

Oh well... I don't really remember so I am just guessing wildly about what I think I did.

This may sound strange, but are you using the "warp" command or the "move" command? I've had a problem on occasion where I use the "move" command to send a ship to another system, and for one reason or another the pathfinding code can't figure out it can use a particular warp point. Using the "warp" command should ALWAYS work...

Of course, if you can't see the other system, you can't be using the "move" command, but it's the best answer I can come up with right now...

just clicked on ship, then clicked on the move togo thru wormhole button at top, then pointed and clicked the wormhole. I've been busy so I haven't gone back into the game again, darn holidays, I do plan on looking at it again.

just some ideas mac

Well, sounds like you're using the right command (i.e., "warp"). Very odd that it wouldn't work.

Ummm, yes you can. But you have to give a chain of commands to do it. Just tell it to warp into the system first, then give it the command to move somewhere in that system. I use this alot in simmove games. Tell it to warp into that system, then to move to the center of the system. That way, I waste less movement points waiting for orders.
