Possible dumb question but ....Icons_PlanetStatus.bmp.. what do they indicate ?

Submitted by fdlu on Mon, 2007-07-16 13:44. Space Empires V General

This is maybe a dumb question and I am pretty sure I have read some months ago
somewhere what exactly they do indicate but cannot find it anymore. (And I am also only now able to afford the time to really play, to much work before)

And the manual unfortunately does not explain them in the icons section.

Can somebody please explain what these Status Icons above the planets indicate.
BTW, what do the numbers indicate in the staus.
I figured out that the blue bar on the right indicates population.

Icons_PlanetStatus.bmp

Its located in SEV/pictures/effects

I am sorry but I am to dumb to attach the image itself.

Thanks for any reply. Maybe some other people are also interested to know.

I find the manual explains rather clearly what each icon means (p48 of the manual for 1.13)...
Otherwise the numbers are for ships/bases/units in orbit.

Thanks for the info on the numbers,
but the icons I am looking for are NOT explained on p.48.
They should be but unfortunately are not.

e.g. the empty yellow/black square, sometimes containing a box,
It's above the planet/colony in the system/main display.
1st line empire flag
2nd line the ship/bases/unit in oribt numbers with population bar.
I am not sure what each icon in the 3rd/4th line indicates.

Oh, I see your problem now... experiment with System Display Options under Empire Options and you will understand pretty fast what each icon means.

The square with/without a box indicates if the planet has anything in it's construction queue.

Thanks for the replies.
System display it was.
Most of them were disabled and
as of this I could not quite
figure it out as only part
of them were displayed.
