Enemy movement (n00b)

n00b question..is it possible to see enemy movement when it is in your explored system?

I am sick and tired of being sneaked up on from the enemy..one minute he attacks my colony, next he disappears without a trace.

You can use the replay button to do that. There are four of them IIRC..I don't use them much.

Where is this replay button?

They are in the main control panel. If you're playing in 800x600, they're on the same screen as the Toggle Minister and Abandon Planet buttons; if higher, they're next to the Toggle Minister button on the left, and the Move To order on the right.

Then you must be playing a sequential-turn game.
The screen should jump to the enemy ship when it moves, you just have to watch closely.

Of course, the enemy ship could be cloaking before it takes off again, leaving you with nothing to see at all.
