The problem is between the keyboard and the chair

The warp was nota zero

Nonzero warp does not prevent training - training prevents nonzero warp

If training fails, you get an information in util.dat. PCC1 and EchoView can show that file. For example, training in free space will generate this:

   Type 44, Length 14 -- Failed Action
     Action:         10000
     Ship Id:        78
     Planet Id:      0
     Cause:          no matching target (19)
       Mission:      38
       Intercept:    400
       Tow:          0

("no matching target" is the error code for "I didn't find the planet I need to get supplies from")

A little-known feature of PHost is that can also write a special log file (trace.log) intended for debugging. Unfortunately, that file is currently lacking the mission failure reasons. Successful training shows up as

   Training:ship8: 300 supplies

in that file (invoke PHost as "phost -Lship8" to receive all information that applies to ship 8).
