Problems with autopilot

With the lastest build I have noticed that some ships on autopilot make the first set of moves then just get stuck. Seems to happen if you have more that one ship with autopilot on.

I have been having another interesting problem with autopilot.

With Auto Turn off, and once you have most of the speed enhancing techs developed, send your Survey Ship out to go investigate an anomoly. Assuming that all of your other ships are not manually moving, i.e. they are on auto pilot themselves, in sentry/guard mode, or in orbit, the following will happen:

When the SS hits the anomoly, you get the screen detailing what the anomoly was, and it matters not which anomoly you discover, then you auto turn. This effectively loses the rest of the SS movement.

After playing with this some more, I belive that I can simplify this a bit further.

If a ship on auto pilot reaches its destination before using up all of its moves, then control is passed to the next ship on auto pilot. Once all auto pilot ships have moved, it auto turns.
