The Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 server has a number of useful commands that players can use.

Help, Restarts and Connecticut

Command Notes
/help In-game Help

Displays a help screen in the chatlog with all server commands.

/show restarts Displays all possible faction restarts. You can look over all the factions you can start playing as.

Use one of the faction codes in the next command.

/restart <faction>

Example: /restart civilianku

This command will "restart" your brand new character. Changing it's ship, loadout, location, ID & IFF to match the requested faction.
/conn This command teleports you to the Connecticut system, which is used for PvP training and loadout tests.

This command will not work if you are carrying any cargo.

/return To return from Connecticut, land on a station and use this command. When you launch, you will return to the station you teleported into Connecticut from.

Chat and Groups

Command Notes
/local <message>

/l <message>

/system <message>

/s <message>

/group <message>

/r If you receive a direct message from another player (green text), this command can be used to respond to them without manually selecting them through the player list.
/invite <player name>

/fi <tag>

One command invites the named player to a group.

Police Commands

Command Notes
/net all on Trade Lane and Gate Scanning Network - TLAGSNET

This command allows Police factions, Lane Hackers and Nomads to track player movement through Trade Lanes and Jump Gates within their respective territory.

With the network turned on, you will be notified of a player's name and scan number ($XX) each time they dock with a relevant Trade Lane or Jump Gate.

/scan Trade Lane and Gate Scanning Network - TLAGSNETThis command can target a player's name, or their scan number (as described above). It provides a list of equipment and cargo carried by that player. If that player is not currently travelling through the network, the command will fail.
/nodock Available only to Police Official Factions, it prevents the targeted player from docking on lawful bases for 60 seconds.

Locking a Faction Tag

Command Notes
/maketag <tag> <master password> <description> Use this command to create a new tag. Creating a new tag costs 500 000 sc.

The <tag> parameter is a 3-23 letter tag.

The <master password> is the password used to drop the faction tag (in order to change the master password) or to set the rename password.

The <description> is intended to provide an indication of the group that owns tag, i.e. their name and officiality status.

/droptag <tag> <master password> Use this command to delete a tag.

The <tag> and <master password> parameters should be the same as used in the /maketag command.

Dropping the tag and re-creating it is the only way to change the master password.

/settagpass <tag> <master password> <rename password> This command is used to set or clear the rename password.

The <tag> and <master password> parameters should be the same as used in the /maketag command.

If this password is set then people must use /renameme to create a ship name starting with this tag.

If not, the tag is owned, but unprotected.

/renameme <new name> <tag rename password> Use this if you'd like to rename a current ship into one that uses a Faction Tag.

Be mindful that this uses the password that was set when the Tag was locked down.
