Game Mechanics

Structures, like most other object, can be examined through clicking on that structure and choosing the examine radial option. What appears in the examination window depends on the status of that structure. When examining harvesters directly, a player may see several bits of information. If the structure has been renamed then a "variation of" attribute will appear on the examination window listing the base name /type of structure that is being examined. This window is usually blank under normal circumstances if a structure has not been renamed, however if a structure has been renamed, it will then display additional information such as the base structure type that it is.

Similar events occur when examining a structure's deed. Normally a structure would have its base attributes however when surplus maintenance or power are left in the structure after redeeding, the Surplus Values are shown when examining the deed. When there is no longer surplus value remaining in the structure, the attributes are removed from the deed examination process. Another aspect to structure deed attributes is the "variation of" attribute which appears on any deed which has had a custom name created for it by the crafter other than the default issued one for the object. This variation of attribute lets players know what the item really is.
