Newbie Question: Is autopilot broken?

Is autopilot broken?

As I was playing last night, it certainly seemed that often times, immediately after giving a move order to a ship for a location more than a turn's distance away, that they wouldn't move on the next turn. The turn after that next turn, they moved just fine.

Anyone know what's going on?

Your ships automove via autopilot at the end of your turn. When you assigned the path, the ship used up all of its movement points and so didn't move when you ended that turn. When you end the next one however, they have points again and thus move on their way.

Ah, ok.

I guess I'm used to them moving at the beginning, or at least before the end of my turn (such as in Civ4).

Thank you very much for the response.
