Yes that one was, shall we say, intersting. :-)

"How does the game know who the defender is?"

Whoever enters the sector is the attacker, the ships in the sector first is the defender.

2. My fleet used one move to jump through a warp point and defend it. The enemy fleet used 5 moves to come through the same warp point from the same direction. So how come the enemy got to fire first?

I think it's because moves are performed proportionally, i.e., expending 5 movement points means you move on days 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30; expending 1 movement point means you move on day 30. I'm not certain how the game determines who moves first on a given day...

Anyone else have a more accurate answer?
