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)

Changing the page
- XenonUI provides an on-screen reference list of key commands for this and the other F3-F8 pages
