The contact list is simply a display of your selected waypoint, local ships, and ARJs if the ARJ menu is open, and known orbital stations. Selected Objects are brighter that non-selected objects.
Ships with the power on, People sitting in them, are a brighter shade.
- Gray objects are neutral ships or ARJs. Brighter gray is a Ship that has power on.
- Yellow objects are ships or ARJs you own. Brighter yellow is a Ship that has power on.
- Purple objects are ships or ARJs your Partners own. Brighter purple is a Ship that has power on.
- Dark green objects are allied ships or ARJs. Brighter green is a Ship that has power on.
- Dark red objects are enemy ships or ARJs. Brighter red is a Ship that has power on.
Station approach and docking clearance
Space-capable vehicles list CPOC, TAC and YSP. While cockpit power is available, a change to your assigned docking port flashes the affected station row for three seconds in white and dark cyan, with the same three-pulse attention sound used by LAST. For example, a clearance can change CPOC to CPOC1. Reassignment or withdrawal also attracts attention; an unchanged assignment does not repeat the cue. The row returns to cyan when the flash ends.
On an inbound approach, a separate tone sounds once when station range falls below 40 km. It does not loop while you remain inside. Moving back out to at least 40.1 km re-arms the tone for another inbound crossing; leaving the area is silent. This is an approach notification, not a docking clearance. Station-relative flight begins below 30 km and ends above 40 km.
The approach tone requires cockpit power and an undocked, space-capable vehicle. Logging in, changing vehicles, restoring power or undocking while already inside the area does not play it. These station alerts are inactive in the simulator. The range rule is the same during atmospheric flight, ascent, suborbital flight, orbit and re-entry, with manual flight or Autoflyte.
Orbital Data
If the ship has sufficient altitude and speed, the orbital data will be displayed directly below the contact list.
