thanks, i realised what id done straight after posting, i was indeed trying to claim a class 0 planet, are you ever able to use them?ive had no game problems since, completed my first game with a win and score of 10k on the default settings, no idea how respectable that is.few other things you might be able to answer for me, whenever i click on a unit, then tell it to do something, the screen then jolts to another unit rather than just staying still, is that normal and can it be turned off? its rather annoying, lol.Is there a way when trading you can see the weeks value it would take you to research something your being offered, so you can compare? (example, im being offered 6 weeks equivilent research for me, but id be giving them 9 weeks worth of my research time, etc)How do you actually get someone allied? ive researched the tech and have people give me stuff, applaud, etc.custom ships, worth it or not?thanks again
HAHA LOL!!1! N00 tries to COLONIZE CLASS 0!!!11! lulz omg
On a more serious note, I'm glad you fixed your problem

1. Yes, it can be turned off somewhere in the options. It's set to go to your ships that need moving, and that's what it's doing.
2. No. You'd have to check in your tech tree. Remember, even if there were what you wonder, it would constantly change as your production of research points fluctuated.
3. For alliance, you BOTH must have the tech, AND must have CLOSE (the highest) relations with them.
