Ouch message right back at you this turn.

Damn it's hard to kill a planet with missles only. I had those ships set to point blank range even and I couldn't get anything through.

Well, it definetly does turn yellow. The only thing I can think is that you just missed it somehow. Or you didn't actually set a start point. When you set the start point you saw a yellow square in the sector you set it? And the square has eitehr a number or any in it?

The only thing I can think of would be not to set it for no ruins out of habit!
Yeah, but doesn't this require the Junkyard mod?

The Junkyard mod pretty much REQUIRES ruins, so no. That's a default SE4 option.

Well, I figured it out...

I was clicking on a system (on the right) and then setting a start point with the button. I assumed it set THAT system for a starting point. Now I see that you need to click on a spot in the system map (upper left) to actually pinpoint a specific location IN the system for the starting point.

So, having figured that out...I apologize for any maps I didn't do correctly...

No problem. Nod and I are far enough apart, even if we aren't on opposite sieds of teh quadrant. Actually it might have delayed our meeting cause I sent my ships where I thought he was first.
