There is a multitude (well, thoroughly thorough throughout
) of information in the tabs at the bottom of the screen:
Foreign relations tab: the "stats" sub-tab contains more tabs for data on each race, such as "now researching", "number of colonies", "weapons bonus", "intelligence level" and
Civilization manager: "stats and graphs" has sub-tabs and comparisons with other races and all the data on your own race.
If you mean how to start a new game with the same settings, I find they are still there when you quit a game then go into the galaxy setup again. Maybe somewhere there is a "restart" option, like in the campaign scenarios?
