I enjoy playing as the Vasari, mainly as the Loyalist because they're the most mobile and quick moving.
Yet, I cant figure out how to use the Devour ability on my own planet. I know you need to abandon it, but how?
The scuttle button is above the main viewer on the lower UI.
Click on the planet. On the bottom of the HUD above the portrait of the planet is a orange (I think) bar, click it to scuttle ships or abandon planets.
OMG.
I can't believe I never noticed that.
Thanks, guys.
I actually learned the hot key, ctrl+s, before I figured out it was that button, despite accidentally hitting it a few times.
I highly recommend having a hot key tied to scuttling, and make it one that is a two key thing (like ctrl + something)...
Some people (especially in windowed mode) have problems hitting the scuttle button because it is so small...if you hit the button accidently and don't catch till you only have a few seconds left, hotkey can be nice...
