Survey Ship doesn't avoid astroid Fields TABETA3A

I have had the routing fail a few times with non-mining ships. It seemed to happen when there was only a small difference in the progress the ship would make going around vs. going through.

I have that happen occasionally, and I'm NOT playing the beta (1.8c I think). It only happens when the asteroids have not been improved at all, at least in my experience.

Sometimes the shortest route to somewhere _is_ right through an asteroid belt (even with the movement penalty), especially with ships that don't move many spaces per turn.

Here's how it should work, (if I remember correctly):

Moving into an asteroid field cancels all the rest of your movement for that turn, and all but one of your movement points for the following turn.

------------------
Ex:
So, for example, if you had a ship that moved 3 spaces per turn and set it's destination someplace beyond a belt of asteroids, and were 1 tile away from the asteroid belts, then here's what would happen: you'd move 1 space towards your destination and have 2 of 3 movement points left.  Since you are now on an asteroid, you'd lose the rest of your moves for this turn.  On your next turn, you'd only have 1 of 3 movement points left, because of the next-turn penalty for moving through an asteroid.
------------------

If this is not what is happening, and you can get the error repeatedly from a gamesave within a few moves, please zip it up with details on how to make it happen (be as detailed as possible) and email it to us.  We'll take a look at it in the debugger and make sure things are working as intended, or hopefully discover what is causing the wrong behavior.

Thanks,
