THE JUMPGATE DEFINITIVE GUIDE - Tripod

Graphical Ship Layout
In this portion of the ship configuration screen you will see a top down
view of your current craft. Depending on which system you have
selected you will see various icons displaying where each component
resides on your ship.
Equipment Assignment Slots
The ship configurator contains eight equipment assignment slots,
located directly in the center of the screen. This is the most vital
portion of the ship configurator. From here you will input all equipping
orders for your ship.
Each equipment assignment slot contains four basic components: the
standard item image and icon , inventory scroll arrows , size
indication boxes , and an equip status button .
Slot Breakdown
Standard Item Image and Icon - The item images and
icons are standard throughout the interface, and you
have undoubtedly familiarized yourself with them
already. This portion of the slot displays graphically
what item you are looking at, and is accompanied by
an icon indicating an item's type and what faction
produces it (determined by color).
Inventory Scroll Arrows - These blue scrolling arrows,
when clicked, will scroll through every item in your
inventory that corresponds with the slot's type. (i.e.
shields, missiles, engines, etc.)
Size Indication Boxes - Size boxes are also a
standard throughout the interface. In the ship
configurator you will notice three different size boxes:
open green, solid green, and solid red. An open green
box means that you have an open size slot. A solid
green box means that the current piece of equipment is
taking up that size box. (Note: you may see a mixture
of green boxes in a slot. for instance: if you can fit a
size three engine, but have a size two engine
equipped, you will see two solid green boxes and one
open green box.) The final box type, solid red, indicates
that an item is too big for your ship.
