Also, how do I get my letter keys to work to activate the controls? I can only use the mouse right now. See, I really am new , and will probably need a lot of hellp.

At the right side of the screen, down at the very bottom is a + and - buttons, you can use them for 'time compression".
You can only go to 32X unless you are on the map screen which will go higher depending on what your computer can handle. It will automatically drop back down if you encounter any ships or land. So around a base it is hard to get any time compression until you get away from all the ships. Not as easy as a keyboard command but it will work.

If you didn't get a manual with the game there is a support folder in your install that has a manual with the keyboard commands. Most of the manual is usless but it does give keyboard commands.
