[1.1.0 Beta] [3613] Science ship can survey outside warp range

[Entih]

This bug was present since release day and is yet present in the 1.1.0 beta patch. Did not find note of it searching bug report forum, so decided to report it for you guys.

When using wormhole FTL, a science ship is capable of surveying any star systems at any range outside the wormhole range, including clear across the galaxy, without leaving the system it is currently in.

The issue comes when using the survey button as opposed to the right click command, which will allow the command to be queued despite distance. As the ship can not physically relocate to the target, it will instantly survey one celestial body a day without moving.

This is possible in all current vanilla game versions, without mods. Thanks for the great game, and keep up the great work!

Sorry, I typed warp instead of wormhole in my original text. I fixed that.

Can confirm the bug also happens with warp drives. If you try to survey a system that is unreachable via warp drive (either too far away or inside AI borders), the science ship will just magically survey the whole thing without moving, and even find anomalies. However trying to research the anomaly will get the ship stuck in an infinite loop of trying and failing to reach the system.

I've attached a save showcasing the bug in a fresh game started in 1.1.0 [b938]. The Sismak system (Unknown #315) pictured below is unreachable but has been surveyed:
