ok little history here. took 2 days to get the game to actually work (the all in one package simply gave so many errors it wasnt funny) eventually hammered out all the problems via dos commands to fix my registery (nightmare)
still not disheartened yet i set out and created my own galaxy - first a starter - non transnutonian or whatnot. game gave 100s of errors due to i presume lack of tech (low morale on stuff we dont have!omgz!) so went ahead and created a default galaxy.
so i selected - pick my tech's for me. and design ships (jesus 100 designs?) gave them all a good look over. i figured i'd start simple like i did dwarf fortress. lets make a geosurvey ship and explore some asteroids / planets ect , located the plan activated sm mode. made a fleet of 5 added them to the taskforce for survey gave them an order to move to mars.
nothing happens. click next day. . nothing happens. 5 days . still sitting at earth.
so i opened taskforce manager thingy, and set special tasks. to survey planets and moons in system. and removed their previous move to mars mission. their orders filled up with surveying the solar system.
but they will not move
infact ive been trying to get this game to work for 3 days and have yet to actually do anything in it. NOT FOR LACK of trying mind you. i swear i must be missing a "CONFIRM ORDER" button or something so obvious it makes me want to punch small children.
so for my next step im actually asking for help since search functions are either bleh. or no one but myself doesnt know how to actually move ships
