This is the FLAK player. FLAK has three display modes:
- Isometric 3-D. Shows the battle at a 45 degree angle with no perspective;
- Perspective 3-D. Shows the battle from a freely-moving camera with proper perspective;
- Flat view. Shows the a flat view onto the battle from the top. Since FLAK is just two-dimensional internally, this is what the combat engine actually does.
Most of the screen is covered by the playback arena. On the right, you see a list of all participating fleets; Space expands a fleet into a list of units.
Each ship/fleet is shown as a circle; if proper images are available, FLAK can also use ship images. Fighters are small blue circles. Torpedoes are red crosses.
