Server commands are scripts that you can enter into the chat window to perform a specific action. Use it just like chatting to someone, and use the backslash at the beginning, "/", to signify a server command. Commands that require parameters can be called without parameters to display help for the command.

New Commands

Note:These commands are currently in beta, they may occasionally be disabled for testing purposes. If you encounter any bugs with these commands please report them on the forum.

Command Description
/set movecharcode <code> Creates a code to allow the movement of the character this command was used with to another account. This code is valid for one transfer only.
/movechar <charname> <code> Transfers <charname> to the account the character using this command is on. Costs 10,000,000.
/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.
/coin Flips a coin and reports the result to all ships within 6km.
/dice Shakes, rattles, rolls the dice and reports the result to all ships within 6km.
/pm <charname> Sends private message to a character. It will be stored in their mailbox if they are not online.
/pm$ <clientid> Same as /pm but the character is determined using the client-id. The player has to be online for this to work. You can find a list of client-ids by typing /ids.
/mail This command checks your mailbox for messages and can be used to view your messages.
/maildel The command deletes a message from your mailbox.

New Command Related 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.
Showing your location If a preset message contains '#c' then this will be substituted with your ship's approximate map location. For example, if you setup a preset message like:
/setmsg 1 Neural-network communications test. Transmitting from approximately #c

And then type '/1' and it'll send on the system chat:

{Your character name}: Neural-network communications test. Transmitting from approximately G-7

Cash Commands

Note: It is recommended that you type these in the Console chat, so that other players do not see the account codes, character names, or amount that you have typed if you misspell the command. It is your responsibility to ensure the safety of your accounts. No refund will be guaranteed if another player "steals" your account code or money. Use at your own risk. 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".

Command Description
/setcashcode Set the account code to allow remote access to this character's account; if the code is 'none' then remote access is disabled. The code can be any string of letters, numbers or symbols.
/drawcash <charname> <cash> Draw the cash from <charname> with the set using /setcashcode
/showcash <charname> Show the cash balance for <charname> with the set using /setcashcode
/givecash <charname> <cash> [anon] Give the cash to <charname>; if the 'anon' parameter is present then the receiving character will not be informed of who sent the transfer.
