Planets 4.0 Client Here are just a few screenshots of the well-known Planets 4 client. Most players of the world know it. When you begin a turn you will see this screen first while starting Planets.   In most VGAP4 games you can play one of thirty 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). The main command screen (active icon bar above) is a good overview. Just a few clicks and you have given your commands to your units etc. In most cases you have a fully functional star map in the background for choosing/selecting units/objects in space. 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).   After selecting an object you can view most important data. In this example we have choosen a ship. Here you can see the overview screen of a ship.   Your population lives in a base on a planet (this is totally different to older Planets 3.x versions). So you can view most important data of your base and the planet while viewing this screen. Also you will find data about the star system (older Planets 3.x versions hadn't such data). A base has many jobs (including the defence of worthy planets). Here you can build your ships, fighters and ship parts.
