This menu is the fastest way to learn information about the planets, stars, and
other spacecraft that surround this ship.  When the menu comes up, you have
three buttons to choose from: ASTRAL BODY, SPACECRAFT, and MAP.

ASTRAL BODY BUTTON
This button will activate the on-screen selection grid, and you can enter the
coordinates of the planet you wish to scan.  The scanners menu will return and
the black LED screen will be filled with information concerning that planet,
including the name of the race that has conquered it (if any), any defense
shields that are activated, plus which mineral is available on the planet.  If
you scan a home planet, its coordinates will automatically be transferred into
the long range scanner computers (the MAP button).

SPACECRAFT BUTTON
This button will activate the on-screen selection grid and you can enter the
coordinates of the ship you wish to scan.  In addition to the name of the ship,
you will also see any shields, weapons, and damage the ship has taken, along
with the heading, velocity, and name of the race that owns the ship.

MAP
These are your long range scanners.  The whole play field will be momentarily
replaced by a top-down view of the universe.  Any home planets that you have
scanned will be displayed by white coordinates on the screen.  Stars are the
yellow pixels, home planets are the bright blue pixels, asteroids are dark
gray, and planets are dark shades of their own colors including blue, green,
white, and red.  In addition, the ship you are currently in control of is
marked with a bright green dot, and darker green numbers represent its current
coordinates.  Press any key or click the mouse button to leave the long
range scanners screen.
