==='''Signature'''===
The waveform in the heat signature display indicates how much heat the ship is emitting to space.  A flatter waveform means less heat is being emitted, therefore it will be more difficult for the sensors of other ships to detect the ship's signature.  When [[Silent Running]] is switched on the waveform will be replaced with blue "Silent Running" text.

==='''Fuel'''===
The ship's fuel information is displayed here as a number, a thin line, and a segmented bar.
The number displays how much fuel (in tons) the ship is currently using per hour - so 0.22/h means that the ship will consume 0.22 Tons of fuel every hour at the current rate.  Note that the number changes based upon how fast the ship is moving and if it is in supercruise or in normal space.
The thin line displays the current running fuel that the ship has - consumed when in supercruise or normal space.  The segmented bar displays how much fuel is in the ship's main fuel tank and is predominantly consumed when performing [[Hyperspace]] jumps.
