How do you colonise?

How do you colonise with Colony Ships? My colony ships have been meandering around as I work out how to direct them and then when I do get to a suitable starsystem and click on the bridge/advisor panel, I cant see a colonisation option! Help! (:(

You take the ship to the planet you want to colonize, try always to colonize planets PQ15 and above. You click in the colony ship and then click in the planet. When the colony ship gets to the planet, it will disappear and in your right hand you will see a column with the planet on it, you click in the planet and you will see and object sticking out from the planet, that is the coloy sign, click in the planet and you have the colony in.

Hi, Christopher --

Had the same problem when I started Gal Civ!

When your colony ship arrives at a star-desination, you should see a notification of that, center screen. Over to the right, there should be a panel listing the planets and their attributes. Mentally pick the one you want (highest Planet Quality --PQ-- usually), and move your cursor there -- if you then click on it, you colonize it. What could be simpler? I know, it wasn't clear to me at all...

Hope this helps!
