Mouse actions
Almost everything in the game can be done by clicking. The exceptions are:
- Right click an enemy or power to get more information about it.
- Right click to return to the Starbase view from a room, or to return to the Starmap from the Starbase view.
- Scroll up or down to change the zoom on the starbase.
- Click and drag the starmap, starbase, or a text field to move it.
You can also quickly redirect a selected fleet by right clicking on the target sector.
