The main Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 server uses FLHook to extend the Freelancer experience. FLHook server commands are commands that you can enter into the chat window to perform a specific action. Use it just like chatting to someone, and use the slash at the beginning, "/", to signify a server command. Commands that require parameters can be called without parameters to display help for the command. If you encounter any problems with the commands listed below please report them on the forums.

Command System Features

Feature Description
Command filtering Any chat text starting with '/' or '.' will not be repeated to private or system chat (except '//' *sigh*). This means you can safely use /drawcash when you're in system chat without accidentally telling everybody your password.
Command echoing Most user commands (i.e. starting with /) are echoed back to your console so you can see what you typed. The exceptions to this are /local, /system, /target and their short variants.

Pimpship System Commands

This system allows the player to customize the lights on their ship. This system can only be used at ship dealers on stations whose names end in the word "Shipyard" . Note:This system is currently in beta, it may occasionally be disabled for testing purposes. If you encounter any bugs with these commands please report them on the forum.

Command Description
/pimpship Activates the Pimpship System (see above conditions in bold). Must be used before other pimpship commands.

For more information, see [1].

/showsetup Displays the current lights on your ship in the following format:
Hard Point ID | Hard Point Name : Current Light Mounted
Example: 01 | HpHeadLight01 : LargeWhiteSpecial
________02 | HpRunningLight02 : SlowSmallPurple
/showitems Displays all the lights that can be changed via /setitem.
/setitem <hardpoint id> <new item id> Changes one of your ship's lights.

The Hardpoint ID will be one of the numbers listed with /showsetup. The Item ID will be one of the numbers listed with /showitems.

Example: /setitem 01 03
Changes your first light to light 03 (LargeOrangeStrobe)
/buynow This finalizes the changes, command kicking you and removing 1 million from your character. It saves all changes made by Pimpship.

Miscellaneous Commands

Command Description
/h or /help Displays all currently available server commands, on the Official Discovery Roleplaying Server. Note: due to some FLHook issues, Discovery RP server is currently using a manual list. Occasionally this list may not be complete.
/restart <setting> Sends you to the main planet of the area you typed in the setting, gives you a fully outfitted CSV and makes you neutral with everyone in that house. Note that the Corsair and Outcast restart commands will make you an enemy to lawfuls. In the case of the miner the command gives you a Basalt (instead of a CSV) and makes you neutral with all the mining factions. This command also resets the characters cash, so be sure not to load it up with cash untill after you use it.

/stuck Moves your ship 10m so 'un-stick' you from bases. Only works when your speed is low.
/droprep Lowers your rep with the faction you have an affiliation with to 0.59 bars, costs 350,000, you must re-log for changes to take effect and to use the command again. Keep in mind if another faction next in line has enough positive rep you will then receive that tag.

To access the "console chat", push enter like normal to go to chat mode, then use the arrow keys to scroll up from "system chat".
