BATTLEGROUP

Battlegroup is a command to enable people to group together up to two wingships
to a single flagship. To form your fleet, you need to go to the craft you wish
to have join and send the request message, and then someone(You or another),
will accept the request. Please note that the SQUADRON and BATTLEGROUP commands
are completely seperate. Battlegroup only works between capital ships.

&244Syntax: &051battlegroup <requesting ship&051>

Once the ship is battlegrouped, you will be able to change its position within
the fleet from its helm. There are three positions within a fleet: Outer,
Midguard, and Inner, each having its advantages and disadvantages. Only ships
in the outermost layer can be targetted, so keep this in mind when positioning
your fleet. Keep in mind, that if you want your ships to have this protection,
they must stay within 1000
units of the flagship.

&244Syntax: &051battlegroup position <position #&051>

The battlegroup command also allows you to remotely control your fleet from the
flagship, enabling you to control them just in just about every way. For an
exact list of what you can and cannot have your ships do, consult HELP
NAVCOMMANDS. It should also be noted that the -full- command has to be typed
out.

&244Syntax: &051battlegroup nav <ship/all&051> <command&051>
&244 &051battlegroup target <ship/all&051> <victim&051>

In addition to attacking ships, should you position the fleet over a planet, it
will be possible to bombard the planet using projectiles. Bombarding can perm
players, and may have serious repercussions if used flippantly. Use this
command with care.

&244Syntax: &051battlegroup bombard <planet&051>

Due to the vast coordination power of the Flagship, there is a line for the
flagship to issue commands to the pilots of all the other ships. However, the
communication only works one way.

&244Syntax: &051battlegroup message <message&051>

A ship can leave its battlegroup or be ejected from it by the battlegroup
leader.

&244Syntax: &051battlegroup quit
&244 &051battlegroup eject <ship&051>
