    Build that rocket structure, it's a T2 structure. If the moon can be shot it will have squars under them stating how many Halley(Not sure the unit name) you need to fire it.

    If you zoom out to celestial view, you can see how many thruster engines are required to move an asteroid or moon. Once you have built the required amount, zoom out to celestial view again and you should see a new red button on that asteroid. "Annihilate" Press the red button and pick your target, it will do the rest.

    Be sure to remove your Commander from the asteroid if you are going to crash it into a planet.

    Zoom out to celestial view, it will have icons next to the planet showing how many engines are required. They turn green when you've built them. Planets of radius (360?) I believe is the largest an object can be and have engines launch it. 5x5 is needed for that I believe. 200 radius moons only need 3.

    yes of course what kind of a question is that? just make sure the "asteroid" you want to use is under 220 radius for 3 engines and under 500 for 25 engines above that you can't move it.

    ya see, I tried searching for that answer on the forums, and on the website, and using Google, but apperently it's a hidden secret... Like if you want a game to be smashing planetiods into planets, maybe you should tell us where the key to the engines are eh.
