A few other things you should know are: To move your ships, click on them to highlight them. Then, right click on the hex you want them to travel to. To view your planet’s surface, double-click on the planet. To place structures, select the type of building from the menu on the right. Click on the hex you’d like to build on, then double click to place the structure. If you have a mouse wheel, you can use it to zoom in and out.
