| - The in-game interface is located in a column at the left of the screen on all pages except the main page. The actual look varies between races, but the functions are the same. The interface also holds some key information, and functions.
* GameTime: This is the universal, official, SGW game time. Useful when trying to arrange a common time in an international community.
* Rank: This is your overall rank. The rank is the average of your four distinct ranks (attack/defense/covert/mothership) compared with other players average. The easiest way to climb ranks is to have all ranks as equal as possible, while the easiest way to drop ranks is to 'zero out' one or more individual ranks.
* Turns: How many attack turns you have to use. Attacking takes from 1 to 15 turns, the more turns used, the greater the rewards and damage.
* Naquadah: An always visible record of the Naquadah 'on hand' or in the open. This is the Naquadah that can be taken from you on a successful attack.
* Vault or Bank This is a 'secret stash' of Naquadah, that cannot be taken on attacks. Clicking the link takes you to your bank, where you can deposit or withdraw Naquadah. Unless your race avoids it, there is a 5% fee for deposits. The type of secret storage varies by race, but the amount it can hold is equal. The bank will hold 1.5 days worth of 'raw' or natural income production. This does not include officer/commander bonuses, defcon or officer income expenses, but does include race bonuses if applicable. See 'calculations' for the exact formula of how much your natural income would be.
* Next Turn: How long until the next turn update.
* Messages: A display of how many ingame messages you have. Clicking this takes you to the ingame messaging system where you can read, reply, delete messages. To send a message, you use the 'rankings' or 'attack' link to find the player you want to send to, at which point an option to message them will be presented. If you recieve a message you do not like, you can 'blacklist' the sender, preventing any further messages from that player. (You can also unblock all previous blacklists here). If a single player is blacklisted enough, it alerts the game administration to see if bad language or personal threats/insults are being used, which is illegal (and can result in that player losing all messaging ability, or even banning of account). Note: you can send a maximum of 50 messages per day.
* Ads/Interesting Links: If a link or ad interests you, please click it. The ads are-in theory- designed to be interesting to you based on the game content, and do help support the site only when clicked.
