Did you know this was possible?

Using the trick I saw in another thread wereby if you enter an unexplored system you can click a random sector and then you can continue to move into the system instead of stopping at the warp.
Well if that sector you pick happens to be a another warp point you fly through the sector into the next without seeing it.

Do you mean it warped wiothout having been ordered to warp?
I thought if you happened to aim at a warppoint it would go to that location and wait there.

I have done this plenty o ftimes and never accidently warped.

I suppose it happened in a simmove game...
what if you play the replay clip? does the system get explored (visible) and then becomes unknown again when the ship warps out?

It has never happened to me and I only play simultaneous.

Because, probably, you just issue "warp" command when entering an unexpored system. The phenomena in question occurs only whem you order warp and then move to some sector in an unexplored system and warp. If it happends , by pure luck, to be a warp point, you zip through.

from which we can guess that it clears warp orders at the end of the turn.

Well I kind of assumed my explaination was what happend. I gave an order to warp then clicked a sector in the unkown system. (it was simultaneous) When I got the next turn I was mystified as to what happened to my ship. I evenutally found it at the warp point of the next system. :-)

And no the move replay did not show the system that is still shown unexplored.

i was talking about the computer process. move, set state to warp, move some more with an unintentional warp, end of turn, clear all warp states.
