"End Turn Skips Moves Left" poll

from Stardock Forums
Carielf says "End Turn Skips Moves Left" means:

"End Turn Skips Moves Left means that once you hit the turn button, all the autopilot ships are supposed to move, and even if they have moves left when they reach their destination, they're supposed to stop and let the next ship move. It doesn't always work that well."

I thought it meant the order the AI's played in was reversed:
end of turn causes the next AI to skip left (counterclockwise) instead of skipping right (clockwise).

Ok, I know it doesn't make sense so I never used it. What did y'all think it meant?

This is what I thought it meant.

:) I was hard pressed to come up with a description that would fit in that little space.

I understood that it meant it would finish autopilot moves and end the turn. That is a tough concept to communicate in a few words.

Maxti, this is for you. Look at my empire. Interested? There is no empire thread, no website, no anything other than having your metaverse score count in more than one place. (Would put a wink, but I haven't figured out how yet--pushing faces doesn't work on my browser).

By the way, for the full effect of the empire logo, look the empire up in the metaverse. It is invisible there.

In the beginning I thought that turning "End Turn Skips Moves Left" off would prevent me from accidently ending a turn when some of my ships still had moves. I couldn't begin to guess what "End Turn - Skips Moves Left" would mean. Maybe that would encourage players to go online and look it up. ;)

I don't think that there is room for another 2 characters. It look me a long time just to come up with that description, and I think that it's the longest one out of all the descriptions :)

Wouldn't be neat if there was a litte "?" near each option allowing to have a description of what the option is doing? As a play the french version, sometimes the translation isn't very helpful to understand what the option does.
