I have no doubt if/when I get an answer I will look like a super noob. Embarrassment ensues. I am playing a game with five suns, I have conquered all the local planets but now need to travel to another sun. There are no phase lanes. I attempt to 'move' my ship there and I get a "will do" and nothing happens. Please tell me, how do I travel to another sun will playing TEC. Thanks, Much
