LCD operation and Usage Summary
Commands are grouped into two categories, normal player commands, and server admin commands.
Note: Commands involving items may be limited to 2500 metres from the person or market you wish to trade with; keep this in mind when trading.
Server admin commands allow staff to monitor other players balances, and add or remove any amount of funds or stock. All player commands are available to staff, but have the usual restrictions removed from them. (for example a staff member can pay a negative amount, in effect removing a players money, while a player can only spend what they have)
Normal player commands allow players to send money from their available funds to any other player with a bank balance in game. Or to buy and sell items on the server or sell to other players.
Other capabilities -
• LCD Price display - See below table.
• Logging - some details are logged for debuging purposes if you have any issues.
• Loads your merchandise into the cargo space of the ship you are flying when you trade.
LCD price display system:
If you name an LCD [Economy] then in the public title use a code for the item you wish to display, it will list the buy and sell pricing for those items. Additionally it is planned that these prices will update automatically to display the prices in the current trading region - perfect for trading ships.
Usage
