Can't move freighter

I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this post....

I had two planets defect to my side that I had previously set up interplanetary trade with. This obviously ended the trade I had going there. The two freighters seem to have returned to the home planet they originated from, and I can view the stack they are in, however I can't move them at all. Also, I can't view the basic planet info when clicking on the planet either, all I get is this stack of two freighters that I can't move . I can select them and decomission them by using the del key, but I would rather just reassign to trade with another planet. I can view there info by selecting the little ! icon but that is about it. If I want to see anything having to do with the planet I have to double click to open the planet window.

Anybody know how to get these two ships back under control?

Thanks

Ok, let me explain something about trade routes - when you establish a trade route with another empire, your original freighter gets destroyed, and a little "mini-freighter" starts going back and forth between the two worlds. That mini-freighter isn't an actual ship that you can control. Yes, you can select it, disband it, etc... but you can't use it to establish a different trade route - it's really just a place-holder that other empires can attack to disrupt your trade.

If you want to establish new trade routes, you need to build new, actual, Freighters at your starports.

Thanks for the quick reply! Guess I'm heading back to the shipyard!
