Doubt: If a ship hits a webmine and the fuel drain starts,...

Doubt: If a ship hits a webmine and the fuel drain starts, but the next turn moves to a planet... will the drain continue if the planet is within the webmine? I guess so, but please confirm.

@Kraken

If you are still covered by the web minefield after sweeping and before movement, you will lose at the minimum 25kt of fuel. This holds true if you are in deep space or in orbit of a planet.

If you hit a web minefield on the way to your destination you will lose all the fuel you were calculated to spend PLUS an additional 50KT or 1/6th of your fuel tank. Whichever is more.

The location of the planet doesn't matter until the next turn, or if a webmine is hit on the way.

@Edward Jellico: so if you have a long distance waypoint set, e.g. to escape a webfield and the calculation is 350 KT of fuel needed the folloing happens if you hit a webmine:

you will loose 350 kt + minimum of 50 kt = 400 KT of fuel???

Can also someone else confirm this?

I believe if you set a long waypoint you get dinged for 81ly of travel if you hit a mine 5ly in as an example.

Ok, so the max distance is 81 LY, at waypoint of 300 LY would have no additional effect?
