Okay, I have nuked the enemy planet, all population and infrastructure is gone. It is a dead asteroid. I do not seem to be able to colonize or do anything with it. It shows it is my planet. I rebuilt the infrastructure to 100%. My blue line has reached it. I have attempted to colonize and can not. There is no enemy ship or allie in the system, just my ships.

Is there a certain amount of loyalty or culture I need? If so how much? Can it be recolonized somehow or when do the people show back up? I am unable to build logistical structures.

I am sure I am missing something?

oh, is there a "pause button", I thought there was going to be a pause button?

Thank you for any assistence.
