Introducing a new utility to help you in the expanse!
Jazz's Move Buildings Utility.
This utility can be used by anyone (no scripting necessary). Please remember this if the first release but you will love it. It has an interface that will let you just click and click again to move your building and re-arrange your planets.
Warning: This program can become very addictive.
Check the program page below to get the program:

Have fun and enjoy the program.

Some technical stuff.
When you run the program now it will now install and download any missing components from Microsoft.com like .net 4.
When a new version is released to install the new version you will need to uninstall the old version first from add/remove programs.
After the program is installed look under the startmenu under a folder called Microsoft. The tool can be run from there.
I'm going to try and change some of this in future releases.
Nice program! Did have to go hunting for a program to unzip the installation program. I would have stuck with the native archive format of windows (I'm using Vista). I found the UI a little clunky and it didn't scale to my 1366x768 widescreen monitor. But at least I could resize it unlike some programs I've tried in the past were the size was fixed and you could do nothing about it. (It was a game I would have tried, but because of monitor issue never bothered.) Also would have masked the password on input, typically programs will use *.
Didn't think there was anyone here doing .NET programming for the game. Would have liked to have seen the source code included with the install. Still program performs as stated, and did move the buildings.
Nice effort 
Its just the beginning of the program. Jazz has worked I think less than 2 weeks on writing that whole thing. Future updates will ahve alot more and will be alot better. At first he was just giong to do a very basic building moving utility so people could do it without scripting. Now its becoming a new thing with a life of its own. The next version will have functionality for more than just moving buildings.
Stay tuned :)
