Rally Points and Registration

from Stardock Forums

How do I create a Rally Point.  I've read and read the manual, there is no mention of how to "create one" just mention of them that they can be used.  Apparently, there are suppose to be 2 types of rally points.  One that planets use to send newly created ships to, and one that existing ships can be assigned to go to.  the "t" keyboard shortcut brings up a window to view a list of created rally point.  Mine just says "none' and "home"  The manual says there is a keyboard shortcut "x" that is supposed to bring up something about rally points but when I press "x" it just toggles me through all my planets.  So the question remains, HOW do I create a rally point, and how do I tell my planets to send newly created ships to that rally point?  I am using v1.2.  I can not find anywhere to download the 1.53 update but stardock, and impulse will not validate my game.  It appearse in my impulse account along with my sn#'s but says invalid.  It is a legitimate store bought copy with the 28# code on the back of the jewl case, and properly entered and does not start with GNC and does not have any -'s in it.  But it will not register.  I have sent the support email and have an open ticket but have never recieved a reply from them either in email or on the ticket.  Is there a phone # I can call to get this fixed?

I can't help you with the registration, so rally points it is.

In the lower left corner of the main screen, just above where it says what you're researching, there is a circle and arrow icon. Clicking on this will turn your cursor into that, then clicking on your selected location on the map will create your waypoint. You will get a pop up that gives you a choice between normal (ship just stops when it gets there), fleet (ships form fleets as they arrive as your logistics ability allows) and attack (sets your ships to auto attack on arrival). You also get an opportunity to rename the rally point, to name it something more descriptive than its location.

Once you have a rally point or two made, "t" will bring up the list of available rally points you can send the ship to - home and none are the only options you're getting because you don't have any others made. You can set a planet to send new construction to a rally point by either using "t" with the planet selected, or using the rally point icon on the planet image in the bottom center window of your screen when that planet is selected. I don't know what "x" is supposed to do, so I can't help you there.
