OBJECT Galactic Bloodshed OBJECT
NAME
[0] object -- survey objects the user owns
SYNOPSIS
object [#objnum]
DESCRIPTION
This command allows users to survey objects in their possession.
Objects differ from ships in that (generally) they cannot go anywhere,
and each performs a specialized function. Some low-tech object types
are:
Space Mirror -- A large, delicate, reflective field of metal
which can be aimed at a specific object. When aimed at a
planet, the mirror raises its ambient
temperature according to the focus applied. When aimed
at a ship, the ship will take a certain amount of damage
each turn. When aimed at a star, the star may become
more unstable.
Canister of dust -- When constructed and launched into the atmosphere
of a planet, the canister will explode, causing dust to
prevent solar rays from reaching the planet and thus lowering
its ambient temperature. This may be used for terraforming
purposes.
Atmosphere processor -- A machine that can alter the atmosphere
of a planet to better suit its owner. These machines
work slowly, and require fuel to operate.
Orders for certain objects (e.g. destination for the space mirror) can
be changed with the ``order'' command.
Additional information on ships or objects can be obtained with the
``examine'' command.
