I bet that wasn't an entirely objective evaluation (hint: who made the comment about whose voice?). I think the same.  More seriously though, I wonder what Paul thinks about the Yehat voice. Was it his idea to make a race of mighty and proud warriors sound like whining brainless wimps? I personally don't find it particularly funny. Too bad I never got the opportunity to ask that question...

Switch to the PC interface - it has text instead of icons. However, if you still prefer the 3DO interface, here are the explanations of these signs:
FIRST COLUMN
Orbit radius (in astronomical units, one a.u. is the distance from Sol to Earth). Note that if you're scanning a moon, the orbit radius of the planet it circles is shown instead (for example, if you're scanning Luna, the orbit radius of Earth is shown).
Atmosphere density (compared to that of Earth). If it's, say, 0.6, then this planet's atmosphere is 0.6 times as dense as the Earth's. If you're scanning a gas giant, the infinity sign is shown, meaning that the atmosphere is "super-thick".
Temperature (in degrees Celsius). If it's above 100° (can't be certain about the exact number though), watch out for hotspots.
Weather class (from 1 to 8). If it's above 2, watch out for lightning.
Tectonics class (from 1 to 8). If it's above 2, watch out for earthquakes.
SECOND COLUMN
Planet mass (compared to that of Earth).
Planet radius (compared to that of Earth).
Axial tilt (in degrees).
Day length (in Earth days).

He said planet orbits, not planets themselves...
Planets with orange and red orbits are very hot, expect hotspots on their surface. Planets with green orbits have surface temperature very close to that on Earth, and therefore many of them can support life. Planets with grey orbits are much colder than Earth, and planets with blue orbits are the coldest.
