Ok, I send an Exploration Ship to a Star I never seen before. So when my ship gets there all I see is the sun. How come I don't see any planets or moons or anything else? What am I doing wrong? When I tell it to explore the system 2 seconds later it says it completed it's task. So how do I explore the planets or set the Explorer ship to find the planets instead of the sun now.

I tried looking in the Galacticpedia but I don't see anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, I see how it is. I guess some stars have nothing in them. I guess it was a coincidence that my first two star systems I visited, had not planets in them. So my question is since my 2nd star I visited is a neutron star, how do I set up a research lab there if there are no planets or moons? Can I click on the Sun it self to do it? Since the manual said to put a research lab to get extra points out of it for being a netron star

Select a Mobile Constructor and right click the Neutron Star, then menu should say Build a Base>Allowing you to choose which field of research base you want.

Yes select the construction ship and right click on teh Neutron Star and select build research base of your choice ( 1 of High Tech/Industry/Energy/Weapons).

You can build it offset from the star too - doesn't have to be right on top of it. Just select your construction ship and then right-click somewhere near the star and select what to build from the pop-up menu. As long as you are in the same system as the star you'll get the research bonus.
