Interacting with Random Events?

[Xragon]

I really must be missing something, I am playing through the first tutorial scenario and the game keeps making me aware of these random events around the map marked with question marks.

Heck, I even have a ship with one in my harbour.

But nothing I do seems to trigger them? Nothing in the mouse/keyboard mappings seems to suggest how to trigger them?

Flying my ship near them doesn't seem to do anything?

Please help my confusion, I have otherwise really been enjoying my brief time with the game.

Just move the 'cursor" towards the event and you will see the question mark light up and animate like a roll over. If that is the case just hold the key you have bound to "build" or select. (Usually left mouse button or the west button..

HOLD until the circle goes full. Its a hold function..just like opening up the captain menu or the commander menu on harbours and command towers.

Hope that helps

Thank you, that was exactly the nudge I needed!
