Menu Mode
Menu Mode happens when you sign into the game and when you get fragged. The selections appear to Join the game, Config your ship, Exit to the main menu, change your flight controls to/away from mouse and look at the statistics board.
Wins and Loses
Top Left - These are your wins and loses. Here is where you can tell if you are an uber-pilot or fertilizer.
Bounty
Top Left - Every player has a Bounty on their head. This goes up when you bag an enemy and goes into the calculation of credits you earn. Bag someone with high Bounty and you'll earn more cha-ching. Your bounty goes up as you earn credits. YOUR bounty also factors into how much money you get, so it's important to stay alive!
Credits
Top Left - Your credits earned. When you croak, you can spend credits in the menus. When you select an upgrade to buy, your remaining credits will be calculated in the lower left.
Messages
Bottom - The last four messages will appear at the bottom of the screen. Some of these are
system notices that some ship went to the great beyond. Other messages are player typed (see controls.)
Mini-Map
Top Right - The Mini-Map gives the position of every ship in your radar range. You are gray, your team is green and evil nasty enemies are red. (Why are enemies always red?)
Your Ship
Middle - Your ship is here! The green bar above the ship is your health meter. The green bar below your ship is your energy level.
Everything Else
Other stuff is mostly weapons fire and other ships and background cool looking stuff and walls. (OK, there are no walls in space. I'll put in a force-field looking thing as soon as I figure out why THAT would be there.) There will be other stuff eventually like asteroids (don't get hit), black holes (they suck) and more stuff.
