#153498: "Clarify how to use ship movement by cards (or change system)"

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
Around move #260

I played my upgrade card to move by 2 spots (that card allows for a move of 3 but I needed 2).
I should have clicked directly on the final destination but I did what seemed natural to me and moved one spot, going back to the initial port with nothing happening there then moved again by 1 spot to my destination.
The second move used my provision but I didn't see it so I didn't realize my mistake until it was too late.

Now, this is the kind of mistake that I won't make twice but I think it should be more clear.
One way to be more clear is that when playing the card it could tell you explicitly that you have to click on the final destination and not step by step. This could possibly be added to the tooltip of the relevant upgrade cards.

Alternatively, moving without a card just after using a card that allowed me to move could tell me explicitly that the movement by card has ended and this is now a regular move and I should undo turn if that isn't what I wanted. (But this could be confusing and could be annoying if the message is often repeated)

Alternatively, allowing me to continue to travel using the card as long as nothing happened in the intermediate step(s) would also work (no action taken there, no ship expelled).
