Mouse actions[edit]

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.
