What do the symbols in galaxy view mean?
*Name(activity column)
-an asterisk (*) next to the name means there has been activity within the last 15 minutes
-a number in brackets (23) means there has been activity on the planet within that many minutes
*A blue name with a (v) means the player is in vacation mode so cannot be interacted with in any way.
*A red name with a (s) indicates a player with 5x more points than you so is therefore too strong and cannot be attacked by you.
*A green name with a (n) indicates a new player who cannot be attacked.
*A light grey (name) with a lower case (i) indicates the player has been inactive (has not logged onto ogame) for over 1 week.
*A dark grey name with a upper case (I) indicates the player has been inactive for over 4 weeks. (Inactive accounts are deleted after 36 days so get raiding them)
*A symbol that looks slightly like a thumbs up means the player is banned. Clicking on this symbol takes you to the pillory. Banned players also have a ranking of 0.
Hope this clears everything up
NB: If any of the colours are slightly off it is due to the fact is is very hard to get the exact colour as ogame when using bb code
