Space-Ships and Battlegrounds

The Basics
Space ships are vessels confined to the System Map that can engage ships from other factions, as well as provide fire support by directly targeting a planet map. As a Captain of a ship, you will have NPC crewmen to assign to various systems to boost the efficiency of it.

Controls
Movement: To begin movement of the vessel, click on the system map icon next to the screech AI in the bottom right of the HUD, then select the 'MOVE' button in that same area, then click on the area you wish to travel to. Be warned you can NOT adjust mid course and will have a cooldown to move again.

Assigning crew: Crew can be ordered to operate ship systems by clicking on them, and dragging the cursor to the system you want them to operate. This can also be used to order injured crewmen to go to the medical bay or repair damaged systems.

Firing on other vessels: Select the weapon you wish to attack with in the bottom left of the HUD, then click on the vessel to begin firing at it. If done correctly you'll see a message in the chat box informing you that the targeted ship has been aimed at.

Canceling attacks: To cancel attacking another vessel, select, and then de-select the active weapon system.

Scanning: Click on the 'SELECT' button in the bottom right of the HUD, then click on the vessel you wish to scan. This allows you to target specific systems such as shields or weapons.

Ship Systems
Systems that are boosted by crew do not need to be manned, but having them on said systems will reduce cooldown or increase ammunition recharge rate.
