discovering warp points

It's too bad that the game doesn't allow for hidden warp points. That really would be a great option for gameplay. You can just imagine ships hunting around for warp points that may, or may not, be there.

DS: WPs are hardcoded to _always_ appear on the system map. I have not been able to get them to be invisible on the system map, period. Could you post your file that makes them capable of being invisible on the system map?

one way to do it so they are invisible on the map would be to replace the pictures with clear or invisible ones. that would only affect the human player as the ai does not need the picture. plus you can turn on names and it will show the system name it is going to so you would know it was there. plus as mentioned earlier explore command will show exactly where it is since the ai controls the ship.
