I am not sure about Strate 3D but in all or nearly all 3D programs there is something called a timeline or sequencer or something like that. It is a line with numbers on it that represent time or frame number. There will be a slider that tells you where you are (you will be at 0), if you move the slider to say 5 seconds and move your ship, it will take 5 seconds to mve form where it started to where it stops. It will also but a dot in the time line, this is a key frame, meaning that at that time it will look exactly as you positioned everything, in between there the computer interpolates to create tween trames. you can controll how things move and rotate, you can make it a smooth process, accelerateing and decelerating, linear or any way you want it really depending on the power of your program. There is alot more to it after that but . . .

Try to find this timeline/sequencer thinie, read the help or anything!
