If this is not your full movement then you lose the remainder of your movement. When you go last this will not happen. Also part of the problem you may be having is the time interval. If you have it set to 20,000km and they then move 180000km the total range just became 200000km That is far enough to be out of range of some beam fire control setups. If this becomes a problem just switch to the 5 second intervals as then they woudn't be able to move as far. (30,000km max movement)
Don't quite get why tough.
Should not matter if I close in 495000 km (30s increment, 165km/s), and then the other ship moves 180000 km (6000km/s) away, or if it happens in the opposite order. I should be 315000 km closer in both situations.
