Adding proper orbits.

Forgive me if this just just an absurdly newb question, but I've looked all over and haven't found it mentioned anywhere. Is there any way to make objects have a proper orbit, say, if I wanted to add a moon to my empire's homeworld in the game editor?

Just plot the moon next to the planet and it will orbit it? [:)]

...Seriously? I never see the orbit path show up.

Only planets display orbital paths (in relation to the solar body at the center) if memory serves.

Mansen is correct. Using the editor select the type of moon you want and place it
near the planet you choose. You will not see an orbital path for the placed moon.
