Overview

Spacecraft control commands

A selection of common commands for SpaceProbe.
Like all remote controlled space mining equipment SpaceProbe is controlled via command line input (CMD) and sometimes by selecting menu items with the arrow keys etc. when operating the craft directly from it's command module interface.
The commands in SpaceProbe are defined in noun/verb configuration. First you declare the noun (the object you whish to address) and then the verb (the action to perform), for example "cds enable" will enable the onboard computers (You may choose not to use a space between noun and verb).
For specifications and specific details please consult the spacecraft onboard computer.

About the command chart:

Docking: Be aware of the potential danger when boarding abandoned environments that may contaminate your spacecraft. Also be aware of faulty circuits that may drain your power cells while docked. Watch your Host Atmosphere Level (HAL) indicator before opening your airlock! -And if you choose to board an environment with a low HAL level, make sure you know what you’re after and make a quick sweep through the complex.

Additional information about HAL levels can be found in the onboard computer help system.

Radio communication (COM): Communicating with space stations is necessary to obtain information, docking permissions etc. and though radio waves travel at the speed of light (approx. 299792 kilometers pr. second) long distance communication may take up to several minutes.
