Welcome New Officers, and welcome to the LPI. Greetings to all Veteran officers who are reading this.
Seeing as this is my first training subject, I will start with something simple...
On your comm device in each of our ships, there is an option to set up preset messages to save you time. They are numbered 0 thru 9. In the proceeding parts, you do not need to type the quotation ["] marks. In the chat panel you can see what you already have by typing "/showmsgs" and hitting enter. Most of you will have nothing. So lets set one up so you can see how it works.
In the chat panel type "/setmsg 0 Hello World" and hit enter. Now when you open a chat window and type "/0" and hit enter. In the system chat it will now say "Hello World"
So to set it up for our use, I am going to show what ones I have setup:
0 #t, please halt your ship.
1 #t, halt your ship at once!
2 #t, halt your ship at once, or I will engage!
3 #t, standby for inspection.
4 empty
5 empty
6 empty
7 empty
8 empty
9 #t, Greetings
Now you are probably asking what the "#t" is for. That will be the name of the ship that you currently have targeted in your aiming reticule. Makes life easy if you have to get someone's attention in a big hurry. Using these or a derivative thereof, nobody can say that you didn't give ample warning.
You can see that messages 4 thru 8 are empty, so you can put in some customized messages.
End of training lesson.
