Bug The Programmed Destination Of The Ship Is Removed v3.96

Saves: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qEtT1h_ONKiReFMdgdZJcZ1xyb3dL-yq/view?usp=sharing

It quite often happens that the programmed destination of the ship is removed.

The ship "The Prospector" has a planned destination.



By completing the turn, the ship has lost its destination and is now an "Idle Ship".

This happens when the destination is in the FoW and the destination is a dead planet.  The ship will move as close as it can to the destination, and then stop and await new orders when the dead planet is within 1 turn, as it cannot move there.

Yes, this is because a dead planet can be selected as destination if the ship takes more than one turn to reach the destination, this with or without fog of war.
A simple fix is to define the dead planets as not selectable as destination (except by specialized ships) as it is already the case for resources (Durantium, etc.).

Unknown_Hero:  your bug reports are appreciated; however, if you have more information about when and how this happens, it might be more useful on those reports.  If you already knew that the destination was a dead planet, for example, that would have been useful in the original post.

I hadn't done several tests I wanted to do when I posted the message. But when I have details, I add them later. :)

cool, you place a lot of posts, and I agree with pretty much all of them.  It stinks that some of the long standing bugs have been ignored.

I tend to overlook most of these issues (as they likely won't be fixed) but I appreciate you bring them up on the forum.

Long-standing bugs are more and more irritating as you play.
It's all the more unfortunate that all these bugs have been reported dozens and dozens of times.
What does Stardock do?
