I'm moving my ships (cruisers, transports, battleships) some with cursor,
some with goto. On the next turn, I see a ship on Goto which I did not set
to. I cannot even determine where the target is, because it is outside the
map. Can you tell me how I can find out?

Might a core dump help?

Im using S2_0.

What I'm thinking is a existing goto 'transferred' to another ship. Is the
goto route static or dynamic (relative)?

What else can I do?
