Hi, I have two questions regarding intercept:

1. Is it possible to hyperjump and intercept simultaneously?

2. Consider A is intercepting B and B is moving to an unowned planet without ships in orbit. Will the intercept be successful?

Ships that hyperjump can't intercept or tow. If they attempt to, the missions will be canceled.

1. no 2. yes

Thanks for your answers.

If in case 2 the intercept is successful, I assume this will also work when B is moving to a not yet discovered planet (using ExploreMap add-on).

If you see enemy ship at the beginning of the turn (i.e. ship will not become cloaked) - intercept will be successful, no matter where she moving to.
