gameleaper, now you have my full attention. If you manage to create a turn based Starfleet Battles type game you will have achieved eternal glory! I promise you, in spite of Civilization Beyond Earth being released today, I will try this game this weekend.

 Hi Huw, I like 2D turn based games, and I could only find a few around the net when I looked a while back, so I started doing what I would like to play, and I found there always one more little bit to do. really Im not a designer or artest, so I twiddle away at things, but people like you guys always give me help so Thanks to all

Well, I tried running this but I can't seem to move my units. I get the message that I've selected a unit but when I try moving it I can't. I must be missing something.

What I found Mike is you can only move the units one hex at a time by right clicking.

Thanks, WYBaugh, that was it. I saw that I could move 10 and was trying to move more than one hex.

you move one hex at atime because of opportunity fire from the A.I. glad you got it going! remember to releft click your unit just before fireing, and if you place more ships by pressing the "E" key set the strength higher so the ship can absorb more hits! I used one successful hit will destroy the ships already setup. also I would switch the red button second to bottom on the right hand side to on, to show the fireing range of selected ship.

one more thing, make sure your flagships stay with your shuttles, because the shuttles require a link to the flagships at the end of each turn to receive orders. if there far away they will soon run out of orders.

ig you press "E" to get into the editor , don't forget to press "E" again when finished.

A quirk is you have to left click your ship before fireing with right-click, you wont notice after your aware of it.

the flags can be set to smaller or transparent if you wished, making space more pretty :)

the range indicator is fireing range not movement. press each button on the right and get a description, but only one button should be on at at ime to see the description.

the game is easy to play, left click select, rightclick move or fire

I'm taking it as a bad sign that no one has said its any good or any comment on play :(

one last thing to mention you may not know without reading the help files, is flagships cant capture victory flags, flagships are designed for command, fighters are designed to take locations

I only took a quick look so I have no comments yet, Civilization Beyond Earth is too addictive for me right now. :)
