Ok, first in the Results section what does the PR and XR stand for?
Also in the intruments window in the upper left cornor of the energy/shield/shot status box are 2 orange boxes that seem to blink randomly during net play, but not solo. What are they and what are they for?.

From what I remember - PR and XR have something to do with a rating at the beginning of the game, and at the end of the game. PreRate and eXitRate - or something like that.
I've seen them, but I've never heard anything about the boxes though.

Don't quote me on this as it's been a long time, but I believe the blinking yellow boxes indicate packet loss (e.g. if instructions get lost traveling across the Internet, and have to be re-sent).

So, by what you are saying, in higher latency games between 2 people, there will be more "blinking lights", than with 2 people getting 30 ms to eachother?

high latency doesn't always mean lost packets.
As I recall with talks with Juri, PR and XR where never fully implemented before release. PR stands for player rating, and is a measure of who the game thought should have won by guessing their skill level. As you may notice it always puts the actual winner on top ;). As for XR I don't remember, and I'm running a PC now so I can't look at it to jog my memory, sorry. And I believe the yellow boxes are packet loss too. I think either the corners are high loss and the middle low, or something like that. It's been a few years ;).
Peace and good luck, MacAran

I don't know what the orange sqaures are, but I believe XR is your rating at the point you left the game, and PR is your rating at the end of the game.
