Found ships out of range

from Stardock Forums
Just now getting to enjoy the subtleties of GC. Here's a situation I keep running into. Find a derelect ship in an anonomaly, yet it is "out of range" and cannot move. How do I engage "auto pilot" as instructed. Sometimes I am able to use these "found" ships, other times I am told the ship is out of supply. Help...I need these extra ships. GenZon

That can be confusing because it sounds like instructions, but has nothing to do with what you have to do: When you click on one of these ships, the in-range area shows up on the mini-map even if the ship itself is not within any of those areas. You can send it to any of those in-range areas, no matter how far. This also allows a trick that allows you to explore (for sensing purposes) areas out of range if they lay between two in-range areas.

Also I think that if you are out of range (for that type of ship) you can always plot a course to your homeworld with the auto pilot...you just can't deviate from that course until you come into the normal range of it.
