Actually I have a whole list of HELP ME ! questions :

1. How do I send a message? -- or Reply to one ? I get to read all those pointless and boring reports but cannot find any means of Sending a message or even Replying to ones I receive. (I have been accepted to an Alliance and cannot figure out how to say Thanks !) (not very intuitive at all)

2. What's with the Friend List Button ? -- aside from show a list of NADDA, what does it do and how does it work ? (again - not very intuitive)

3. Where do I find some USEFUL answers to Rules questions or Rules of Mechanic (as in : how do I DO things in there ?!?!)

4. Why are the planets in my Galaxy ? (Sector ? -- System ?) different colors ? Is that for variety or do the colors actually mean something ?

*******(to be continued as I find more problems)********

Thanks for any and all replies / answers
