@halfvoid, @js619 Excellent, thanks guys.
Picked up your message, @halfvoid, and asked to join the corp.
Oh, shame about the no-fighting thing. I was being all careful about protecting my transports when there was another player around, and I thought I was able to target another transport with my battleship. So the battleship is only for shooting the local Cerberus contingent? Fair enough.
Damn, all my planets have at least a moon. I’ll go and pick the least productive. Ooh, new sector notification! Yes, it’s only been 3 days so this is still exciting…
EDIT: ok so it was a rubbish sector with a bunch of asteroids and a Cerberus thing that destroyed my battleship because I sent in the one without the guns upgrade and running away is apparently quite tricky. Hello to everyone in Stately Star corp land
