WinPlan 3.5 Client

Here are just a few screenshots of the well-known WinPlan 3.5 client. Most players of the world know it. Long-time players also know the older VGA Planets 3.0 client, too (the MS-DOS version!!!).

When you begin a turn you will see this screen first while starting WinPlan. The pictures of bases, planets, ships, race leaders and logos may be different for each WinPlan version because a player can change pictures (even sounds - nice features of WinPlan).

WinPlan 3.5 first screen

 

In most VGAP3.x games (including both VGA Planets 3.0 and WinPlan 3.5) you can play one of eleven races. The next screen shows a picture for choosing one of the races.

After choosing a race (here: the Feds) a new screen appears. This is the main client screen (well, race-depending). Here you can see the pictures of your race leader and the race logo. The main command screen (Starships, Planets, Starbases, Star Charts etc.) is a good overview. Just a few clicks and you have given your commands to your units etc.

The ship command screen looks like this one.

WinPlan 3.5 ships screen

 

Your population lives on a planet. So you can view most important data of your planets while viewing this screen.

A starbase has many jobs (including the defence of worthy planets). Here you can build your ships, fighters and ship parts.

WinPlan 3.5 bases screen

 

Without a good star map you don't know where your planets, starbases and ships are... So using the star map is a good overview for you. Also you can see the moves of ships from neighbors and enemies (depends on the scanner range).
