Command Interface
The command interface will display the location of units on the map when friendly units are selected.
The command interface allows a pilot to build and control units.
The highest level of the command interface is unit categories: offensive, defensive, ect.
Satellite
Once a Satellite has been deployed, you view the satellite display. This can be used in addition to the radar map information to choose battalion commanderss and receive intlligence on enemy deployments.
Pilots and Scrap Meters
Next to the command interface there are two important resource indicators: Pilots and Scrap.
Pilots will indicate how many pilots you have under your command. Most vehicles that you build will require a pilot. If you do not have any pilots available, you will not be able to build that unit. Every mission starts with a fixed number of pilots. If you need more pilots, you must build a barracks, which will add five more pilots. When a vehicle is destroyed, there is a possibility that the pilot will eject and return to base. If this happens, that pilot will become available to command another unit.
The Scrap Indicator shows how much of the bio-metal scrap you have collected with your Scavengers. Everything that you build will require a certian amount of scrap. If you do not have enough scrap, items that you cannot build will be unavailable in the build menu. If you run out of scrap, it is possible to take units that you have built and order them to be recycled.
