FEDTERM MANUAL - PLAYING FEDERATION 2 WITH FEDTERMTHE SYSTEMS PAGEThe systems page displays information about planets and the star systems they are in. To get to this page, click on the Systems tab. FedTerm will also switch to this page if you type 'JUMP' at an interstellar link. When you first log on to Fed2, FedTerm will make sure it has an up to date list of all the systems and planets linked into the game. All the systems are listed down the left hand side of this page. Clicking on a system will give you a list of the planets in that system, in the planet box on the right hand side. Click on a planet name and the planet's information will display on the screen. [INSERT SCREENSHOT] If you want to go a system, you can double-click on a system in the list to issue a 'JUMP' command. Provided you are at a link, and the system is open for visitors, your ship will jump through hyperspace. Whether the jump works or not, FedTerm will switch back to the main page so you can see what happened. The systems page also displays a picture of the selected planet, if there is one available - otherwise it defaults to a picture of a hyperspace link. The FedTerm installation comes with pictures of all the Solar System planets, and you can download pictures of player planets from the planet gallery. If you own a planet, you can make your own planet picture which you can swap with other players. The picture size is 172 x 172 pixels, and it must be in .bmp format. You should save it with a filename that matches your planet name (for example marina.bmp or rigel 4.bmp). You need to put the planet picture in the planets sub-folder of your FedTerm folder, and email it feedback@ibgames.com so it can be added to the gallery on our web site.
