You can view the unit attributes by clicking on 'help', whichever screen you are currently viewing, and theb press 'game info'. There are buttons on the game information screen for each of the races. Select a race, then select a unit. The unit attributes will be listed on the right side of the screen.

ENDURANCE

The capacity to sustain damage or injury. Units start the battle with health points equal to their endurance. Health points are lost by weapon damage, and the unit dies when health reaches zero.

ARMOUR

Each armour point will negate one damage point from an attack. For example, if 5 damage points are sustained from a laser blast and the unit's armour is 2, then 3 points of health will be lost. The energy shields of Grey units are not protected by armour.

Movement speed in metres per second.

DAMAGE

Average damage inflicted by the unit's weapon. Damage can vary randomly for each attack between 50% and 150% of the damage value.

ATTACK TIME

The number of seconds taken for each shot or attack.

INACCURACY

The average deviation from true for a weapon shot, in degrees.

AMMUNITION

Each shot from a weapon will generally use one unit of ammunition. Units with no ammunition cannot fire. Some Grey units use more than one ammunition point for each shot.

WEAPON RANGE

Effective weapon range in metres.

VISION RANGE

The distance a unit can see, in metres.

REACTION TIME

The number of seconds a unit will take before it can start firing after spotting an enemy.
