One of the things that has been irritating me is that once you build a satellite at some location you can't selectively scrap it at that location only, as you can with anything that can be designated as a fleet. This seems rather unrealistic. I have been in several situations where I was being attacked, while I was short of metal, and it would have been a God-send if I could have just selectively scrapped some of those older watch-standers without totally lowering my guard in other places. Also, with larger galaxies, I sometimes get a message about a star I haven't been to in a long while, or I want to reactivate at that location, but can't find it easily on the explored list. A message box I can type a name into and have the screen go to that star would be *verrrrry* nice. So far I spend much too much time playing your game Peter, so no flames intended. Easily one of the nicer games I've bought. Cheers, Gary Greene Unisys/Convergent Technology San Jose, California garyg@convergent.com or garyg@well.sf.ca.us (at home)

Just type the name of the planet into the status window and double click on it. The map and planet list will scroll to that planet automatically (pretty slick really). The second person is also right. If you click on a planet in the list, the map will move to that planet.
