Cannot move fleet to a system

So i am in a war, took an outpost, and now it says I have no path to either of the 2 system right next to my fleet, no clue why

FTL inhibitors. You need to take over the base in that system AND occupy every enemy planet.
If you dont you can only leave the system through the hyperlane you entered.
That system is to prevent fleets just ignoring the outer systems defenses and going straight into the middle of enemy territory.

You can sorta bypass that annoyance with Jump Drives and Psi-Jump Drives, by using the jump ability every 120 days. Completely ignores inhibitors. Although it behaves weirdly, like jumping from a system with an FTL inhibitor into a system that doesn't have one, still prevents you from being able to move. It's annoying.

Remember that jumping lowers your ships damage and sublight speed by 50% for some ungodly balancing against alpha strikes, I guess. Might get you wiped out if you're not supremely overpowered against the stuff you land on.

I control the starbase in the system, still cant move on, its weird.

Does the system have a planet the enemy empire has colonised? All planets seem to also gain FTL Inhibitors as well, and you can't move on until you capture the planet (with armies) bomb the planet into a tomb world (with armageddon bombing) or annihilate the planet (with any number of planet-killer collosus weapons) to clear up the system under your control.

It's a really wonk system, but...balance I guess. Otherwise you can just steamroll everything in your path.

And that would make the weariness mechanic pointless now, wouldn't it!

nm im blind, didnt realised colonized planet could prevent movement with FTL inhib
