This window displays information about enemy or own ships. It is used as visual scanner, and to select ships for various operations.
- Up/Down: Browse through ships
- Ctrl‐Up/Ctrl‐Down: Browse through marked ships
- .: Mark/unmark current ship
- C: Cargo transfer for own ships; last known cargo for foreign ships
- Ctrl‐C: Show cargo summary for all your ships on the list
- Enter: Go to this ship in ship screen
- R: Allow/forbid/request/drop remote control (PHost feature)
- S: Toggle specification display (a window similar to regular specification display which automatically updates as you browse ships)
- L: Toggle list view
- Shift‐M: Show subspace messages from this ship
- Ins: Add this ship to the battle simulation.
- Ctrl‐Ins: Add all ships to the battle simulation.
When you have opened the list view using L, you can use the right mouse button or # resp. \ to bring up a menu that allows you to sort the list. The sort order will be saved, and also be used for other "ships at one place" lists, including the order for the Tab key on the Ship Screen.
Current vs. Prediction
By default, this window displays ships at a particular location; the cargo summary will display current cargo.
When this window is invoked with Ctrl‐N, it predicts future positions of your ships. From a planet, it will display ships that will be at this planet. From a ship, it will display ships that will be at the same location as that ship next turn. Unlike regular fuel consumption computation, this prediction resolves intercepts. Cargo summary will show predicted cargo.
