Can't move freighter

from GalCiv2 Forums
I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this post....

I had two planets defect to my side that I had previously set up interplanetary trade with. This obviously ended the trade I had going there. The two freighters seem to have returned to the home planet they originated from, and I can view the stack they are in, however I can't move them at all. Also, I can't view the basic planet info when clicking on the planet either, all I get is this stack of two freighters that I can't move . I can select them and decomission them by using the del key, but I would rather just reassign to trade with another planet. I can view there info by selecting the little ! icon but that is about it. If I want to see anything having to do with the planet I have to double click to open the planet window.

Anybody know how to get these two ships back under control?

Thanks

Ok, let me explain something about trade routes - when you establish a trade route with another empire, your original freighter gets destroyed, and a little "mini-freighter" starts going back and forth between the two worlds. That mini-freighter isn't an actual ship that you can control. Yes, you can select it, disband it, etc... but you can't use it to establish a different trade route - it's really just a place-holder that other empires can attack to disrupt your trade.

If you want to establish new trade routes, you need to build new, actual, Freighters at your starports.
