This is an old revision of the document!
====== Empire Manager ======
The Empire Manager allows you to manage your empire, conduct diplomacy, read the galactic news and to keep in touch with what happened recently. This also where you can keep track of your assets and of the missions you have accepted.
===== Empire Settings =====
This is where you can see the stats of your empire: military strength, money, sector held and number of ship.
You can toggle the automatic empire manager. If active, you will automatically expand and build new factories and war ships. And if you are at war with a neighboring faction, you will automatically invade sectors. If disabled all of this stops, but factories will continue to manage themselves. You can also toggle the bounty system. If enabled, your faction will automatically put bounties on the head of those who destroyed your ships and pay accordingly if possible.
If you are at war with another empire, you can also tell your manager to target a specific sector from this tab. Be advised that you can only target sectors that are hostile and next to your empire.
Many more options will be gradually introduced here during development.
===== Asset List =====
From this tab you can see all your ships, factories and stations. It offers various filtering options. Right clicking an item in the list will open a popup menu with additional options (center camera, take control and open settings).
===== Missions =====
You can review the missions you have accepted here. Clicking a mission will set it as your current one which result in highlighting (with a red square) the mission's target(s).
===== Diplomacy =====
This is the diplomacy screen, it list all the different factions, their military strength and their attitude toward you. You can either use the 'contact' button or double click the list to contact a faction. So far you can only declare war and peace, but here again much more options will be unlocked gradually during development.
===== Galactic News =====
That's self explanatory. This page lists the major news in the galaxy: Declaration of war/peace, sectors changing hand and so on.
===== Journal =====
This is where you can track news relevant to your ships and empire. Content can be customized in the last tab.
===== Event Logging =====
This tab allows you to set how events relevant to your empire / fleet / lone ship will be handled. For each type of event (ship killed, station built, and so on), you can log in your journal, on screen, both or none. And for some relevant ones you have the ability to center the camera on it, giving you a (slim) chance to save this poor transport choke-full of weapons from nasty pirate raiders.
