Ships not moving

[henk brouwer]

Do they show up as having movement points?
Check your empire options\orders tab for the ship orders:

is the "ships should clear their orders upon entering a system containing an enemy presence" or ".... containing any other empire" switched on? If so, could this be the problem?

Good idea Henk but I don’t think there would be enemies in every system. Longstreet can you attach the save here and let us take a closer look. Please include the name of the empire in question.

The movement points a visable. I will have to get back to my friend on the empire\orders tab for ship orders. Some of these ships have just been constructed and will not move from the planet.

Now if you had said they were just constructed and would only move one hex at a time I would say he doesn’t have enough supplies for the new construction. That could happen if he only one or two supply depots and is trying to resupply a large number of ships. Something else is going on with his ships; I doubt this is a bug. The save game would really help out.

What ever the problem was we have decided for a new game. Neither of us had a good start anyway.Thanks all for your advice.

Dodgy keyboard with "escape" key (or whatever "clear orders" is in SE5) stuck down?
