On the games screen where you view which players have...

On the games screen where you view which players have looked at or completed their turns, what does it mean when their "bar" is orange or red? One of our players hasn't logged his last two turns, so I assume the red colour indicates he's MIA or something...

What is orange? Holiday mode or something?

Thanks for any insight.

orange means 1 missed turn. red means 2 missed turns. 3 strikes and you're out.

Thanks @Jellyfishspam. So what happens if this dude gets dropped? He appears to be about to miss his third turn. I was about to drive the stake into his heart...

Does the computer take over? Is it opened up for someone else to take over? Does it just sit idle?

It opens up for someone else to take it. So move with care when you take his space you might suddenly find yourself facing an opponent.

@Hentagon
Initially ALEKSANDR will be dropped and the slot will stay open for a potential replacement. During that period his empire will be idle. (Ships will follow waypoints, planets will generate taxes etc). You can pillage, tow and kill ships fairly safely in this period.

As @Qinic said, be careful in case someone joins and unexpectedly sets orders. Don't assume the race is completely dead.

After 3 turns the slot will be marked "dead" and all his ships and bases will vanish. His planets, however, will remain for you to pillage.

Actually the only Sector Hentagon has, KillRace is set to false... so the slot will not be marked "dead" after three turns in this example.

The Privateer position is now open for a replacement player; http://play.planets.nu/#/sector/213874

19 planets, 2 starbases, 35 ships, Turn 43.
