Race Select
The race select screen has multiple uses. It is used to select which races
to send a message, as well as which race to spy on. You will have up to 30
pairs of buttons on the left side of the screen. The gray button with the numbers
drawn on them activate the display for that race number. Button 3 is currently
pressed so all the information that you will be seeing on the right side of the
screen will apply to race 3 ( player 3 ). You can see that race 3 ( player 3
) is a Solar Federation Of Planets player. The race pack ID is 101, the race
pack version is 104, and the name of the race file is RACE101C.RCE. The person
who is playing this race is using the name “ Player 3 ” .
If you click the striped orange square button to the left of any of the
gray buttons the button will depress and light up green to indicate that this
race has been selected for what ever action you are currently taking, such as
sending a message.

see that have standing orders to attack members of race 3. Race 4 and race 5 have
been selected. If this screen was called from the send message screen, when
you click on the done button races 4 and 5 will be on the send message to list.

spying is free, but generally not effective.

from race 3.
