CSpace is the home-grown system designed by Colchek so that players may interact and pilot their own ships in the expansive universes of OtherSpace.

Basic Commands

Before you are able to input flight commands, remember to +man the right ship console.

+slook <ship name>
Brings up a ship's desc. This works on a landing pad or in a docking bay.

+man console
Mans the ship's console. Doing so sets you as the current pilot and makes the flight commands available to you.

+unman console
Unman the console.

+powerup
Activates the ship's power systems. Necessary if the ship is to operate.

+powerdown
Deactivates the ship's power systems and conversely, it's ability to operate.

+liftoff
Lift off from a landing pad or docking bay.

+land *=*
Land the ship. The first item is the sensor contact ID to land on, the second item is the ID of the landing pad or bay.

+waypoints
Bring up a list of the waypoints that are stored in the ship's waypoint computer.

+jump to *,*:
Activate the FTL drive and travel to the specified X,Y coordinates. The length of time required to reach a destination is based off of your Vehicles + Spacecraft skill level. A high roll can shave as much as 50% off your travel time. This goes for +travel as well.

+jump to *
Activate the FTL drive and travel to the specified waypoint. The waypoint can be entered by name or ID #.

+travel to *,*:
Activate the sublight engines and travel to the specified X,Y coordinates.

+abort:
Aborts any FTL or sublight travel the ship is currently engaged in. Your ship will be returned to its starting coordinates.

+shortscan:
Perform a short range sensor scan. This will show all contacts in your current sector.

+longscan:
Perform a long range sensor scan. This will give a grid based on your sensor's range. Contacts will be marked with *.

+scan *:
Perform a scan on a sensor contact. You must provide the contact's ID number.

+status:
Get a readout of the ship's current status.

+board *=*:
Board a ship. You must provide the ship's name. Optionally, you must provide the boarding code if the ship's security is on.

+disembark:
Get off a ship. This must be done from the airlock.

+icom *: Your message will be sent to all the rooms on the ship. For now, anyone on board can use this command, but later it will be tied in with crew rosters.

+security on/off:
Activate or disable the ship's boarding security.

+set boarding code=*:
Set the ship's boarding code.

+broadcast *:
Transmit the specified message to all vessels in your current sector.

+transmit *=*:
Transmit a message to specific ships. The first item is a space separated list of sensor contact ID's. The second is the message you want to send.

+viewscreen:
View what is currently outside the ship.

+place station *=X,Y

+add system *=*:
