From Elite Wiki
Revision as of 21:17, 23 August 2021 by Cholmondely (talk | contribs) (→F5F5 page (ship's manifest): Added weapons/armour listings & reputations listings)
This page is accessible both while docked and in flight. It gives you information about your ship.
- If your ship is damaged, this page is where the details are shown.
Contents
Key-commands
This screen is primarily an information screen, rather than one where you make decisions.
- The "Left & Right Arrow keys" navigate between the equipment items with which your ship is supplied.
- Pressing the F5 button takes you on to your Ship's Manifest with details of cargo & missions
Equipment List
The order here is not obvious. Lasers go at the end. Damaged items are moved to the top of the list and coloured to show their status.
- If you are using LMSS then your currently unselected lasers will be shown on the next F5F5 screen.
Changing the page
- BGS 2.5.1 provides an overlay displaying the F5 data within a monitor and against a backdrop of a ship's bridge
- XenonUI provides an on-screen reference list of key commands for this and the other F3-F8 pages
- Docked HUDs removes your HUD from the bottom of the page, leaving only the fuel bar & missile display. Some of the more recent HUDs do this automatically.
Putting some of this in an MFD
- Useful MFDs puts a lot of this information in two MFDs in your F1-F4 in-flight viewscreens.
F5F5 page (ship's manifest)
This page is accessible both while docked and in flight. It gives you information about both you and your ship.
Key-commands
This screen is primarily an information screen, rather than one where you make decisions.
- The "Left & Right Arrow keys" navigate between the pages in the unlikely event that you have more than the one!
- Pressing the F5 button again takes you back to your commander "jameson": details page
Changing the page
- XenonUI provides an on-screen reference list of key commands for this and the other F3-F8 pages
- Docked HUDs removes your HUD from the bottom of the page, leaving only the fuel bar & missile display. Some of the more recent HUDs do this automatically.
OXP listings
You will find that a number of things which you might expect to appear on the F5 equipment page appear here instead.
- LMSS alternative lasers. The lasers uppermost and ready for use in each mounting appear at the end of the F5 page listing. The secondary unused lasers appear here instead.
- IronHide armour. The status of that armour is shown on this page (see the screen shot to the right).
- Repair Bots: the number of charges is also listed on this page.
You will also find reputations listed here too.
- Display Reputation publishes one's delivery contract reputation on this page (cargo, parcels & passengers).
- Towbar publishes one's salvaging reputation here - or if not, a nag to buy a towbar!
- Market Observer publishes one's trading reputation here
- Explorers' Club publishes one's explorational reputation here too.
