Another tedious Newbie Question

[alien]

Just tried the combat simulator. I included my home planet which appeared centre screen. I then included my base which I expected to see somewhere very near my planet in orbit. Wrong !!! It appeared on it's own at the very bottom of the screen with a Warship I also included, even though it has no movement points. Is there any way round this ?? I want it orbiting the planet.

Hope you can assist.

Thanks.
