User Interface
The user interface has a myriad of controls and information displays. Here is a typical interface as seen by a player when in space near a space station
Most items are information only and self explanatory while some are clickable for more info or actions.
clickable items
Auto pilot
This link will bring up more clickable buttons to warp able locations. Clicking on a destination name will move you to the Space Station or gate location. Clicking the Action will auto dock or auto jump through selected gate. The Green dot on the Vestra Surface means you own a Settlement/Colony at that location.
Clicking Destination Column heading will sort the list alphabetically. Clicking the Distance Heading will sort if by distance. Clicking Action will sort by action. Clicking Action will list the usable Gates in that system at the top of the list. Clicking the far left blank column header will sort with colonies at the top. If you own a colony, it will be listed first.

There are 4 possible skills at this time. Once you receive a skill level in each skill, it will be listed here. Assets shows your character credits and Solar Credits (SC).
Clicking one of the Locations will show that location's current resource/Ship/Ship Module stored at last visit. Settlement (Surface) resources only actively update when you visit.
Votes are only present during the Semi Annual General Elections, Monthly Bi-Elections, or Gate Approval Requests for Senators.
Contracts
The Contract window will fill as you accept contracts at SS Contract Boards. You can sort by Name, Destination, or Reward.
If you want to delete a contract, dock at a SS, then click and hold the red X at the far right of any contract you want to delete.

Clicking the Map button will bring up the galactic map. The Galactic map Shows the main 9 planet systems linked with green to show jump gate routes.
