Hi there! A couple questions here

Hi! I just got this game last week so I'm definitely a "Noob" but this game is a blast! I hope I'm in the right place to post these comments.

First thing I want to comment on is there is no "Next Unit" button that I can see. I see that the "Turn" button goes green when every unit has orders & there is nothing else to move & thats great! My problem is when I have a few dozen ships out looking about & I fail to give one orders before looking at my planets. The turn button remaines grey and it can take quite a while to find that ship that does not have any orders. Is there a "Next Unit" button I am just missing?

Mt other question is how to find the screen where the ships are fighting. When I attack an enemy I can zoom in and see the fantastic animations of the ships shooting it out but i can't seem to find the dedicaded "Combat Viewer Screen." I have looked at the manual & can't seem to find that. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance for your help!

To the left of the Turn button is the Find buttton. That's the pne you are looking for. It will cycle through yuor ships that don't have orders.

When I attack an enemy I can zoom in and see the fantastic animations of the ships shooting it out but i can't seem to find the dedicaded "Combat Viewer Screen."

In game. Go to the menu, Interface tab, put an 'x' in show battle sequence and full fleet battles. Make sure your battle legnth is not instant battles.

Hope this helps.

or on the cycle through ships just click on any planet base or ship that has moved yours or ais and press the space bar

if you do the space bar before you click on any of the above you may skip a turn on one of your ships

press the space bar

Pressing the space bar skips the move for the selcted ship or fleet--don't make this a habit unless you want to see ships going nowhere.

The keyboard shortcut for clicking the Find button is to press the TAB key.
