The Main Interface#

This is the main information area and will contain an assortment of context specific information. It acts as the location for most of the information that will be provided to you.

Planet Information Screen#

Information listed here includes:

• The planet name: this can be changed and duplicates can occur
• The planet location: this is used for many different functions in the game. Clicking on it will copy the location to any input box that requires a location.
• Development: this displays the number of buildings on the planet and the maximum capacity of the planet.
• Credits / Exium : these show the current resources available on the planet. The number in brackets represents the income (white) or loss (red) of resources. Loss of resources only occurs when you have more than the amount allowed by your  Silos
• Owner and Empire: these display the owner of the planet, and the empire to which he/she belongs. Clicking on the owner or empire will take you to the appropriate information panel.
• Planet fleets/armies: this will open a panel displaying all fleets or armies (own, ally or enemy) on the planet, including inbound fleets.

Planet Navigation Buttons#

These three buttons allow quick and convenient swapping between your planets. The left and right arrows take you to the previous and next planets on your planet list, and the up arrow refreshes the current planet information.

The Map#

This section can contain a map of the galaxy or any sector or system. The line of text above the map allows for navigation out of the three levels, and clicking on specific sectors or systems on the map allows you to move into the sector.

Help Me. I can't see anything because the map is in the way.#

If you are playing on a mobile phone then there is a reasonable chance that the map may be obscuring sections of the screen. A fix for this has been introduced. Simply click on the alternating arrows symbol on the bottom left corner of the screen to invert the layout.
