Waypoints

How do waypoints work?
Can you set multiple waypoints or only one?
Do waypoints have the ability to cause movement to another waypoint? Do planets?
Thanks

Never used waypoints, but waypoints are like street signs, you go from one and then the next, so does a ship, a waypoint tells a ship to follow a given path until it reaches it's destination and then stop. Can you explain what you mean by planets? do you mean move one?

You set waypoints up, and you can give orders to planets so that any ship made at the planet automatically goes to the waypoint. Also, the Move to waypoint command is available. I have used both, they are pretty good.

I would like to put waypoints on my planets that have supply depots and be able to ferry ships across the map without having to move the to each resupply point.
Can planets be set to automatically forward ships that move there to other planets?
Are you limited to 10 waypoints?
