Status Bar
From Stars!wiki
This bar displays the selected planet's ID, X and Y coordinates, and name.
If a fleet in deep space is selected, this bar displays the fleet coordinates and number. If the fleet is in orbit around a planet, only the planet information is displayed.
This bar also displays the distance in light years between the object you've selected in the scanner and the object you are commanding (the object in the Command pane). If they are at the same location, the bar is blank.
- Distance and the Scanner "Grid"
- When you set a waypoint, notice that the Scanner snaps to a "grid". The grid snap is one light year, and can't be redefined. Vertical or horizontal distance is measured in whole years. Diagonal distance across a grid coordinate is a decimal amount.
The full set of information shows only if the Scanner pane is wide enough to display the information. If the scanner window is too narrow, only the object name is displayed. If the text is too small to read, left-click in the bar to display the popup.
