Same old question.

I am back to this game after a "break" of a couple of months.
The same thing keeps irritating me to immense proportions.
I have asked this before, and I don't remember the answer, but my guess is that I wasn't satisfied or else I wouldn't need to ask this again. :-)

Here is the problem.
jul 2179 my first ship has 2/2 moves and no set point (autopilot)
I right click on a destination and it moves but also the date changes to aug and the screen is centered on a recently build ship.
I move that to its max movementsm, it goes there and the date doesn't change. So now I click on Find and there is nothing. Good. Now I click on end turn. The screen is focused on my first ship with 2/2 moves left and the date DOESN'T CHANGE.
This circle continues. Basical the date doesn't change when I click on end turn. WHY? It is so confusing! Other times it changes and other it doesn't. What is the logic behind it? Please help!!

I feel like am not in control of the game. Someone please help because as I said before it is driving me crazy. The only solution that I see is to try to ignore totaly the date, which I don't think it is the best way, is it?

Oh, somethibng that I forgot to mention, i have end turn skip ships movement to off. If I leave it to on the it seems I have even less control to when the turn ends and in combination with the above problem I have complete chaos in my hands. :(

yeah, a ship that starts a turn on autopilot moves at the *end* of the turn, after you hit turn. If it doesn't exhaust its movement, it will wake up, you move it and hit turn again. If you have lots of ships finighing their automoves, sometimes you have to hit turn. after they have all moved. When all the automove is done the turn will actually change.

And the date doesn't seem to make sense to me either. I just ignore it.

Cheers!

There are a couple of refresh problems, and that's one of them.  The date is generally a turn behind until you click something or move a ship.  I thought that I had it fixed once, but it's rather persistent.

So, CariElf, any chance of getting it fixed for good? :notsure:
