During a travel though some jump points, is it possible that a ship class increases its mass? an increase that prevents the next jump(s)?
I have ordered a fleet, made of two ships of the same class, to perform 4 jumps.
After 3 jumps, just when the fleet has to enter the last JP, the game event is saying to me:
"Battle Fleet cannot carry out a transit as there is no available jump drive capable of allowing the fleet's military engined ships to enter the jump point".
This is the class:

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
This design is classed as a Warship for auto-assignment purposes The anomaly is in the class mass (40,090 tons) vs. the jump drive capability (Max Ship Size 40000 tons).
If this was true at the first jump point, the fleet couldn't even enter it. Instead the ships did 3 jumps, before this message.
How is it possible?
P.S.
In the system where my battle fleet should arrive after the last jump, there could be a fleet of an unknown alien race that destroyed one my survey ship few days ago. My fleet is going there to rescue the lifepods, and attack the enemy ships.
