I was initially super confused and about to quit and write it off, but THEN I figured out that the stations give you clues. It became a pretty fun hunt for the right planet, then. The main problem I ran into though was that once I FOUND the right planet, I had no idea how to actually select it for settling. So I waited on top of it until the time ran out and...lost. Very sad. So, fun clue hunt. Wish it were a little more polished with the controls and such, but I liked it enough to try again after my first failure so hey.
Also the music was AMAZING.
