What Gives, Warp In?

For that matter, why doesn't it give... This bug still seems to crop up every once in a while: some of the Warp In ships remain greyed out and aren't given to you until a few minutes later

Looks like they are trying to get to the destination position, but the tolerance is too low (ie, it doesn't consider itself at the destination when it is probably < 0.0001 units away ). When it happens to me I zoom right in and can see them very slowly moving, and as you say they eventually get there.

i'm not quiet sure, how this is caused. 
I played a game with someone else who was fed, and it seems the more ships that are warped in, tha harder it is to keep them

I don't think it has to do with the position of ships. If you put any other federation ship on the spawn list other then the vessels currently there they will never go under your control even when they are in position. it's most likely some mishap in some .odf related file(though I'm probably way off  )

I think you are at least partly correct Nephalim, as this was what happened before I think (as in 3.05 related). As far as I've seen, it's been the Ambassador every time that's done this... who knows if that's related though.

Ok just to add....I was playing against a merciless fed AI today for lil bit....I had fog and shroud off so i could watch their movements.....and I see a lone grey dot warping around the map.....turn out it was an excelsior of the AI...It would stop....then the warp flash would occur then it warp to a dif point on the map....It seemed to following sometype of path as it seemed to warp aroud in a loop....I tried hover my cursor over it when it wasent warping and no info came up so i asume it hadent even completed its replace yet....it repeated this loop bout 4 times then finally calmed down....and this was in unmodded 3.0.7....so its just been fluke for me so far that abasadors were just getting stuck.
