THANKS AGAIN, my problem was that I was using a Transport instead of a Colony Ship. It matters a lot that there's some helpful peeps out here. The game isn't intuitive to me and I would have just given up playing it without the help I've gotten.

Thanks so much, I finally found it. Doh! While your answering questions, I'm playing the Arcean campaign and my ship won't colonize a planet. Ship has a population of 3.0 and there are no planet defenses. Any suggestions? Thanks Again
Thanks for your reply! Okay, Maybe I'm dense or blind, but I'm looking in the bottom left corner and seeing nothing that mentions ships. Sorry if I'm crazy, but I just don't seem to have a list over there. I found one spot that says I have "ships defending" but that didn't lead to a list of them. I'm running v 1.2. Something that didn't make it out of beta? One really confused Woozol
So I have a few questions.' 1) I accidentally sent a ship to a planet, can I get it back somehow? 2) I built my Shipyard too far from the planet and my Transport was then built without any soldiers on board, is there a way to then load soldiers? 3) I sent a ship to the Shipyard, and I couldn't get it back either. Did I mis-interpret the instructions? Can I get it back...and how? Thanks Woozol
