The K Desktop Environment

Chapter 3. Command Reference

3.1. The main Konquest window

The Planet Status indicator (the big black box on the left) is your source for intelligence on the state of the Galaxy. Your spies will report on the status of your rivals, but not on the native-controlled planets. The information present in the display is: name, owner, production rate, fleet strength (ships and kill percent.

The production rate is the number of ships that planet will construct in one turn. The fleet strength is the number of ships currently in place at the planet. And, the kill percent is a measure of the effectiveness of the ships produced at that planet. Attack fleets take the kill percentage of their planet of departure, and defense fleets use the kill percentage of the planet they are defending.
