After ~20 minutes of travel, i still haven't left M-225 evidently... i think i'm traveling in the direction of M-25... something i'm missing?

Heh. Yes, you've missed something quite important :)
There is one galaxy. It consists of many star systems, as I'm sure you've seen (press F6 for the galaxy map when you're in space).
You can't fly directly from one star system to another. That'd take zillions of years. Instead, you have to use one of the following methods:
Finite Probability Drive ("Fipro"): click the button on the left of your screen (in space, obviously). It brings up a list of popular worlds. Click one and you'll be taken there. They're in a few different star systems.
Infinite Improbability Drive ("Infimp"): you don't start with one of these, but you can buy them in most good space stations. When you've got one, you can click the button (also on the left) and type in the name of a world: again, you'll be taken there instantly.
Stardrive: this is the standard way to travel between star systems. Go to the galaxy map and zoom in (press F6 again). You'll see the star system you're currently in, and a circle around it that shows the range of your stardrive. If there's another star in range, click it to target it; then click the stardrive button from the main screen in space. You'll travel to that star.
A couple of things to note:
- you can buy different sized star drives. The bigger the drive, the further you'll be able to travel.
- stardrive is the only way to transport cargo from one system to another. You can't use Fipro or Infimp if you're carrying cargo
- stardrive travel uses Uridium fuel. You need enough fuel for the journey, or you won't be able to engage the stardrive. Obviously you need enough fuel for the return trip too if you want to come back (you can buy fuel at most spacestations, but the further out you go, the more likely it is that they'll be out of stock).
Finally, read this to get a handle on the most common space stuff in the game.
Have fun :)

What you have to do to claim a planet is just land on a unkown one. It will bring you back out into space and ht ename of your planet will appear. You will however have to connect it to the server if it dosnt automaticly.
Whats with point drive and turret mode? Were do you buy them and what do they do?

Actuall, that's not the case any more. If you run your unregistered world, the galaxy simply assigns it to the nearest "Unknown" planet to the starting systems.
Turret mode: spaceship turrets are a planned "add-on" for your ship. They're not available to buy, because the code isn't finished yet.
Point drive: this used to be available. It was a way to move instantly between planets in a system. It was removed for gameplay reasons (with an infimp, you can do the same; and if you have cargo, you need to travel there manually).

Oh, I wasnt sure, sence when I made, well tied, to make my planet I accedentally crashed into my route planet, came out and it was "Kona Topia", wasnt sure on a new update those.
Oh,
Howcome its still on the drive list? And howcome if it works accactly the same as the infimp drive, why were two ever added?
