View Screen
The view screen shows several items. The view! The HUD, at the bottom of the screen. The central green cross-hairs are used for accurate orientation of the ship during navigation and docking manoeuvres, as well as having obvious functions in combat. This screen shot does not show the Comms Log.
The Comms Log (of messages to you from stations, ships, etc.) is also displayed on the View Screen: press >> ` << - the red grave accent - to recall it after it fades.
The Sanya Amiya TLF glare-reducing view screen shows a processed view of the exterior of the ship using feed from four digiFeed cameras mounted on the contours of the hull.
