Ships on autopilot continue beyond destination.

from GalCiv2 Forums
This is a rather rare occurance that I have been trying to find some pattern to, but since I have yet to get anything definitive to show what might be causing this, I thought I should at least report having observed it happening. As best as I can tell, the designated target remains, the ship simply goes passed it.

NOTE: Sometimes a ship will continue beyyond its designated destination clear to the edge of tha galaxy.

This is still happening on Beta 2. It has happened twice now with colony ships of my design. Strange, it doesn't seem to happen with other types of ships. The ship I have disigned has a large range - 42.

I think I am beginning to see a pattern here. No guarentees, but it might, just might, have something to do with the target location. It may be that sending a ship on auto pilot to space in an edge sector is when this happens. Not sure yet, not enough times to be conclusive.

Hmm, I was hoping that this would be fixed by the change I made when I found the bug in the pathfinding code.  If you have a save game that can reproduce this, please e-mail it to me. Thanks.

My current game just dissproved this theory.

After seeing it happen I tried to set up a before/after set of game saves, but have yet to capture them in the saves.
