In the second campaign there is one sweep mission that has waypoints 1, then 8, then 9 and has no baddies in it.

Kinda souds like an airborne mission, or one that involves using a farcaster to reach a remote sector. What day of the campaign is it? Where is your unit located at the moment?

By the way, there will occasionally be some missions where you don't encounter any enemies. It depends on how many ships the enemy has left, and whether they are able to assign any patrols to your sector at that time. Sometimes you will get missions where there are enemies that don't show up on your sensors because they are out of your sensor range.

It was a sweep mission, I'm not sure of the exact day, I want to say 22, but that's a guess. The first waypoint put next to one of those Gate looking things, then as I it shift insert to speed to the next encounter it put me into the gate thing itself and my wingman blew up on the outside of it. At that point I hit the Nav map command and saw I was very near that planet in the center. All i can remember.

On a related issue... I know how to zoom in and out of the Nav map, but how do you move the map side to side? Having trouble finding the answer to that one.

Just revisited the game, I'd estimate it was on day 8

Right-drag to scroll the map, same as orbiting the camera in F3 mode.
