=== System View ===
The system view screen is the screen that shows all the information on any body in any system you want. It is normally defaulted to the system you are currently in. All the SM buttons are down in the lower right.

* '''Create Empire:''' Creates a player race or NPR on the selected planet. Currently the planet needs to have an atmosphere. Oxygen is needed, however Methane may also work. If you try to use methane for the atmosphere, you will get a window asking for conformation. The screen that comes up that actually relates to creating the empire is very similar to some of the start game options.

* '''Create system:''' Creates a randomly generated system, just like if a ship went through a jump point. You would probably have to use this a few times before you find a planet with parameters you are looking for.

* '''Create Nebula:''' (VB6 only) Works exactly like create system, except it forces the system to be a [[nebulae|nebula]] type.

* '''HW Minerals:''' Can be used to guarantee all minerals with decent accessibility on the selected planet, similar to when you start a new game on Earth. Good to use right before creating an empire.

* '''All Minerals:''' Runs the random generation for minerals on all bodies in the system again replacing what was on the bodies before.

* '''Specify Minerals:''' Lets you manually place minerals and accessibility on the selected planet. 

* '''JP survey:''' Automatically surveys all grav-survey points in the system for the current default race.

* '''All SB survey:''' Just like JP survey, only for geo-surveys of all bodies in the system.

* '''Star SB survey:''' Just like the above, only effecting the bodies orbiting the currently selected star.

* '''Body Survey:''' Instantly does a geological survey for the current default race of the currently selected body.

* '''No JP survey:''' Forces the currently selected default race to have the current system's survey points set to unsurveyed. This does not effect jump point knowledge itself.

* '''No SB Survey:''' Forces the currently selected default race to lose knowledge of all minerals in all bodies in the system.

* '''Update Atmos:''' Seems to just refresh the screen.

* '''Redo Comets:''' Runs the comet generation routine over again, removing existing comets, and forces there to be at least 1 comet generated.

* '''Random Ruin:''' Adds a random [[ruins|Precursor site]] to the selected system body. If added to an already surveyed body, you will have to survey it again to discover the ruins. Does not create any Precursor ships.
