User:Aleksis/Space Commands

I thought I'd make a simple guide to space movement and combat. This is just the basics, what I think every new player should know, and is something I created so I can direct people who are new to how things are can find it easily instead of having to wander the wiki.

Navigation
There will be times when a pilot will need to go from one system to another or will need to change coordinates within the system that they're currently in. This is done via the nav commands.

==< NAV Commands Help Index >===============================================

NAV/HELP...................... This Help File. NAV/LOCATION.................. Displays the ship's current location.

NAV/MOVETO X,Y,Z NAV/MOVETO ............ Moves the ship to the designated coordinates or the coordinates of the specified Transponder. The destination must be within one ship speed distance of                              the ship's current location.

NAV/AUTO TO X,Y,Z NAV/AUTO TO ........... Sets the autopilot to the coordinates or the coordinates of the specified Transponder.

NAV/AUTO ON................... Engages the Autopilot. NAV/AUTO OFF.................. Disengages the Autopilot.

So let's say you're wanting to move from point A to point B within a system. You'd simply use the nav/auto to X,Y,Z command and then follow it with nav/auto on. You can also use nav/moveto X,Y,Z which does the exact same thing as the previous example but it does it automatically - no having to use the nav/auto on command and without the travel time.  refers to the transponder that all ships and planets have.

Now, let's say you want to go from one system to another. This requires an entirely different set of commands.

==< JUMP Commands Help Index >==============================================

JUMP/HELP..................... This Help file. JUMP #........................ Enters the ship into hyperspace, using the specified jump number. JUMP/CALC TO X,Y,Z JUMP/CALC TO ......... Creates a route from your current system to                              the system specified by the coordinates, or                               by the name of the system. JUMP/CALC TO X,Y,Z LOC X,Y,Z JUMP/CALC TO  LOC X,Y,Z.......... Same as previous JUMP/CALC, only specifies where to arrive in target system. JUMP/DEL #.................... Deletes the specified jump. JUMP/INFO..................... Displays detailed information about all the jumps stored in the Navigational Computer. JUMP/UNJUMP................... Takes the ship out of hyperspace. JUMP/ETA...................... Tells you when you can disengage hyperdrive. JUMP/DEST .......... Displays all the publicly known jumps that are equal to or less than the specified distance away. JUMP/GRAVWELL................. Displays the Gravity Well status within normal scanning range. JUMP/GRAVWELL TOGGLE.......... Turns on or off the Gravity Well Generator.

There are a lot of jump
