|issue= Space Law is only a set of guidelines, meaning security does NOT have to follow it. Administrators will only intervene when you are sentenced to grossly unfair times. If you get 3 minutes instead of 2, talk to the lawyer as it's considered an [[IC]] issue. ''If you cite Space Law in an adminhelp or anywhere outside IC communications, you will be laughed at.''

Space Law is a collection of rules and regulations enacted by [[Backstory#Nanotrasen|Nanotrasen]] which has oversight through [[Backstory#Central Command|CentCom]] and is enforced by the [[Security|Sec Officers]] on the vessel. Space Law applies to all ranks and positions on vessel, from the lowliest Assistant to the highest Captain, all are equal under the eyes of the Law and ultimately answer to her.

''The rules and regulations herein are not absolutes, instead they exist to serve mainly as '''guidelines''' for the law and order of the dynamic situations that exist for vessels on the frontiers of space, as such some leeway is permitted.''

Crime codes are made up of Category Codes (_xx), which are a collection of similar crimes on a line for ease of use, prefixed by the Severity Number (X__).

Additionally, certain modifiers might affect the punishment, they are to be appendixed as follows:

The Severity Modifier is appended at the end of the crime code number as follows: XXX-_. It only gets applied during martial law, and as such may be highly situational, as no emergency is the same.

The Sentence modifiers are shown in the rightmost column, they are to be appended to the right of the severity modifier as follows: XXX-S_

===Interpretation of the Law===
A good working knowledge of Space Law is important for any person on the vessel. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping Gargle Blasters in the bar. More in depth interpretations of space law are required for such positions as the Staff Judge Advocate, Warden, HoP, and the HoS. While it is unlikely that the officers will listen particularly closely to your protestations, it may be enough to lighten your sentence and avoid ill treatment by the MP.

For certain crimes, the accused's intent is important. The difference between Murder and Manslaughter can be very hard to ascertain, and you should default to the less severe one.

Additionally, "stacking" of ''sentences'' is not allowed, and only the sentence of the most severe crime is to be applied.

A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took three items off of someone, this is a single count of pick-pocketing, if they pick-pocketed two people this would be two separate counts of pick-pocketing, and so on.

'''As an example of this:'''

An assistant walks around the ship naked, stealing IDs from multiple people and then deepfrying them after breaking into the kitchen. This happened at least a few times. The seperate instances of those crimes would be documented like this:
* 209 Theft | Stole multiple IDs on seperate counts. (We cannot be sure how many times it happened, as such we only mark it once and note in the description that it was done a bunch.)
* 105 B&E | Broke into the kitchen on seperate counts. (Same here.)
* 201 Major Vandalism | Deep fried a bunch of people's IDs. (Same here.)
* 212 Indecent Exposure | Constant nakedness.
Since he was actively running from security this entire time, the "G" sentence modifier is applied to all of them, doubling their sentences. And since we do not stack sentences, and their most severe crime is major vandalism, we give them a clean and solid 20 minute brig time.

Aiding a criminal makes you an accomplice; you can be charged with the same ''sentence'' as the person you aided as per sentence modifier H: Aiding and Abetting.

'''Always remember, if you're unsure, go with the most lenient option. Being lenient when reasonable is a powerful tool for security, it helps greatly to have a cooperative crew on your side. You're all in this together after all.'''
====Brig Procedures====
Standard Operational Procedures for brigging are as follows:
#Take the prisoner to the brig and inform the Warden of their crimes so their Security Record may be updated.
# Hold the prisoner over one of the genpop lockers, and empty their inventory into it.
#Search the items removed and be sure to check the internals box in their backpack.
#Confiscate any contraband and/or stolen items, as well as any tools that may be used for future crimes. These are to be placed in evidence, '''not left on the brig floor or your personal use''', until they can be returned to their rightful owners.
#Enter their crime into the genpop interface on the wall and receive their prisoner ID card.
#Close and lock their locker with their ID card.
#Put the ID card on the prisoners ID card slot, and move them into the cell.
#Uncuff, stun them if they pose a danger still.
#Take the cuffs with you, and leave the prisoner to their sentence.
#Modify their brig sentence for additional offences or good behavior, if applicable.
'''Do''' ''NOT''''' fully strip the prisoner unless they have earned a permanent sentence.'''

The [[Warden]] or [[Head of Security]] are responsible for placing prisoners in permanent confinement.
#Permanent Prisoners are to be completely stripped of their belongings, which are to be held in either evidence or a prison locker.
#The prisoner is to be dressed in an Orange Prison Jumpsuit and Shoes, which are found in the prison lockers.
# Permanent Prisoners are not permitted to possess any personal belongings whilst they are incarcerated in the [[Prison Wing]].
====Legal Representation and Trials====
Prisoners are permitted to seek legal representation on permanent sentences, you must take steps to provide this if possible.

Staff Judge Advocates, and by extension the Executive Officer/Captain, exist to serve as a guiding hand and the voice of reason within the judicial process, however they have zero authority over the brig, security personnel, prisoners, or sentencing.

The Staff Judge Advocates' security headset is a privilege not a right. Security personnel are under no requirement to listen to them and security channel abuse is to result in that privilege being revoked.
*If the Staff Judge Advocate continuously acts as a disruptive influence Security are fully permitted to confiscate their access, remove them from the brig and bar their future access to it.
In instances where a conflict of opinion arises over the sentence of a prisoner the [[Chain_of_Command|chain of command]] '''must''' be followed. This goes along the usual rank hierarchy.

Trials are not to be performed for Timed Sentences. This is mainly for the benefit of the accused as trials will often run many times the length of the actual sentence.
*Trials may be performed for Capital Crimes and Permanent Detention, however there is no requirement to hold them. Forensic Evidence, Witness Testimony, or Confessions are all that is required for the Head of Security, Warden or Captain to authorize their sentence.
In cases where the Death Penalty is desired but the Captain or Acting-Captain is unable or unwilling to authorize the execution a trial '''is required''' to authorise the death penalty.
====Use of Deadly Force====
As a member of the vessels Security force you are one of the best armed and protected people on the vessel, equipped with the almost latest in non-lethal takedown technology.

It is for this reason that the situations that warrant the use of Deadly Force are few and far between, in the grand majority of circumstances you will be expected to use your stun weapons, which indeed are many times more effective than lethal options, to diffuse a situation.

There are a few circumstances where deadly force is permissible:
*'''General Quarters / Martial Law''' - situations which endanger the wellbeing of the vessel, such as any crime with the X Severity modifier, or the presence of highly dangerous adversaries such as Nuclear Operatives or a Space Wizard, authorise lethal force to be used if needed.
**A single shove does not constitute assault, not on an officer nor on anyone else. If you kill someone because of a single shove, be prepared to spend some time in the brig yourself, because you just committed manslaughter.

*'''Non-Lethal Weapons Ineffective''' - certain targets are impervious to NLWs, such as Mechs, Xenomorphs, Borgs, and Hulks. Lethal force may be used against these targets if they prove hostile.

*'''Severe Personal Risk''' - sometimes getting close enough to a target to slap the cuffs on will create significant personal risk to the Officer. Deadly force from range is recommended to subdue Wizards and Changelings.
**Criminals in hostile environments such as space, fire, or plasma leaks also fall into this category, as do criminals believed to be in possession of high explosives. Ranged lethal force is the only reasonable option in these conditions.

*'''Armed and Dangerous''' - if a suspect is in possession of weapons, including stun weapons, and you have reasonable suspicion that they will use these against you, lethal force is permitted. Although in the majority of cases it is still preferable to attempt to detain them non-lethally.
**Unauthorized personnel in the armory are considered by default to be Armed and Dangerous, maximum force is permitted to subdue such targets.

*'''Multiple Hostiles''' - it can be extremely difficult to detain multiple hostiles. '''As a last resort''' if you are being mobbed you may deploy your baton in a harmful manner to thin the crowd. Generally it is better to retreat and regroup than stand your ground.
Additionally, in the event of an attempted prison break, Security may fire lasers through the glass. They are expected to first fire a few warning shots before unloading their weapon into the target.

|'''Murder'''
|To maliciously kill someone.

Examples include: intelligence or research samples, the Hand Teleporter, the Captain's Antique Laser, the Captain or the HoP's ID cards, or Mechs. This is by no means a exhaustive list of items that are high value to the syndicate; when in doubt use common sense when you see certain items that are stolen that can cause massive problems throughout the vessel. Remember if something is locked up in a secure area it probably should not be taken without prior permission.

Space Law is a collection of rules and regulations enacted by [[Backstory#Nanotrasen|Nanotrasen]] which has oversight through [[Backstory#Central Command|CentCom]] and is enforced by the [[Security|Sec Officers]] on the vessel. Space Law applies to all ranks and positions on vessel, from the lowliest Assistant to the highest Captain, all are equal under the eyes of the Law and ultimately answer to her.

''The rules and regulations herein are not absolutes, instead they exist to serve mainly as '''guidelines''' for the law and order of the dynamic situations that exist for vessels on the frontiers of space, as such some leeway is permitted.''
=== Crime Codes Quick Reference ===

Crime codes are made up of Category Codes (_xx), which are a collection of similar crimes on a line for ease of use, prefixed by the Severity Number (X__).

Additionally, certain modifiers might affect the punishment, they are to be appendixed as follows:

The Severity Modifier is appended at the end of the crime code number as follows: XXX-_. It only gets applied during martial law, and as such may be highly situational, as no emergency is the same.

The Sentence modifiers are shown in the rightmost column, they are to be appended to the right of the severity modifier as follows: XXX-S_

===Interpretation of the Law===
A good working knowledge of Space Law is important for any person on the vessel. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping Gargle Blasters in the bar. More in depth interpretations of space law are required for such positions as the Staff Judge Advocate, Warden, HoP, and the HoS. While it is unlikely that the officers will listen particularly closely to your protestations, it may be enough to lighten your sentence and avoid ill treatment by the MP.

For certain crimes, the accused's intent is important. The difference between Murder and Manslaughter can be very hard to ascertain, and you should default to the less severe one.

Additionally, "stacking" of ''sentences'' is not allowed, and only the sentence of the most severe crime is to be applied.

A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took three items off of someone, this is a single count of pick-pocketing, if they pick-pocketed two people this would be two separate counts of pick-pocketing, and so on.

'''As an example of this:'''

An assistant walks around the ship naked, stealing IDs from multiple people and then deepfrying them after breaking into the kitchen. This happened at least a few times. The seperate instances of those crimes would be documented like this:
* 209 Theft | Stole multiple IDs on seperate counts. (We cannot be sure how many times it happened, as such we only mark it once and note in the description that it was done a bunch.)
* 105 B&E | Broke into the kitchen on seperate counts. (Same here.)
* 201 Major Vandalism | Deep fried a bunch of people's IDs. (Same here.)
* 212 Indecent Exposure | Constant nakedness.
Since he was actively running from security this entire time, the "G" sentence modifier is applied to all of them, doubling their sentences. And since we do not stack sentences, and their most severe crime is major vandalism, we give them a clean and solid 20 minute brig time.

Aiding a criminal makes you an accomplice; you can be charged with the same ''sentence'' as the person you aided as per sentence modifier H: Aiding and Abetting.

'''Always remember, if you're unsure, go with the most lenient option. Being lenient when reasonable is a powerful tool for security, it helps greatly to have a cooperative crew on your side. You're all in this together after all.'''
====Brig Procedures====
Standard Operational Procedures for brigging are as follows:
#Take the prisoner to the brig and inform the Warden of their crimes so their Security Record may be updated.
# Hold the prisoner over one of the genpop lockers, and empty their inventory into it.
#Search the items removed and be sure to check the internals box in their backpack.
#Confiscate any contraband and/or stolen items, as well as any tools that may be used for future crimes. These are to be placed in evidence, '''not left on the brig floor or your personal use''', until they can be returned to their rightful owners.
#Enter their crime into the genpop interface on the wall and receive their prisoner ID card.
#Close and lock their locker with their ID card.
#Put the ID card on the prisoners ID card slot, and move them into the cell.
#Uncuff, stun them if they pose a danger still.
#Take the cuffs with you, and leave the prisoner to their sentence.
#Modify their brig sentence for additional offences or good behavior, if applicable.
'''Do''' ''NOT''''' fully strip the prisoner unless they have earned a permanent sentence.'''

The [[Warden]] or [[Head of Security]] are responsible for placing prisoners in permanent confinement.
#Permanent Prisoners are to be completely stripped of their belongings, which are to be held in either evidence or a prison locker.
#The prisoner is to be dressed in an Orange Prison Jumpsuit and Shoes, which are found in the prison lockers.
# Permanent Prisoners are not permitted to possess any personal belongings whilst they are incarcerated in the [[Prison Wing]].
====Legal Representation and Trials====
Prisoners are permitted to seek legal representation on permanent sentences, you must take steps to provide this if possible.

Staff Judge Advocates, and by extension the Executive Officer/Captain, exist to serve as a guiding hand and the voice of reason within the judicial process, however they have zero authority over the brig, security personnel, prisoners, or sentencing.

The Staff Judge Advocates' security headset is a privilege not a right. Security personnel are under no requirement to listen to them and security channel abuse is to result in that privilege being revoked.
*If the Staff Judge Advocate continuously acts as a disruptive influence Security are fully permitted to confiscate their access, remove them from the brig and bar their future access to it.
In instances where a conflict of opinion arises over the sentence of a prisoner the [[Chain_of_Command|chain of command]] '''must''' be followed. This goes along the usual rank hierarchy.

Trials are not to be performed for Timed Sentences. This is mainly for the benefit of the accused as trials will often run many times the length of the actual sentence.
*Trials may be performed for Capital Crimes and Permanent Detention, however there is no requirement to hold them. Forensic Evidence, Witness Testimony, or Confessions are all that is required for the Head of Security, Warden or Captain to authorize their sentence.
In cases where the Death Penalty is desired but the Captain or Acting-Captain is unable or unwilling to authorize the execution a trial '''is required''' to authorise the death penalty.
====Use of Deadly Force====
As a member of the vessels Security force you are one of the best armed and protected people on the vessel, equipped with the almost latest in non-lethal takedown technology.

It is for this reason that the situations that warrant the use of Deadly Force are few and far between, in the grand majority of circumstances you will be expected to use your stun weapons, which indeed are many times more effective than lethal options, to diffuse a situation.

There are a few circumstances where deadly force is permissible:
*'''General Quarters / Martial Law''' - situations which endanger the wellbeing of the vessel, such as any crime with the X Severity modifier, or the presence of highly dangerous adversaries such as Nuclear Operatives or a Space Wizard, authorise lethal force to be used if needed.
**A single shove does not constitute assault, not on an officer nor on anyone else. If you kill someone because of a single shove, be prepared to spend some time in the brig yourself, because you just committed manslaughter.

*'''Non-Lethal Weapons Ineffective''' - certain targets are impervious to NLWs, such as Mechs, Xenomorphs, Borgs, and Hulks. Lethal force may be used against these targets if they prove hostile.

*'''Severe Personal Risk''' - sometimes getting close enough to a target to slap the cuffs on will create significant personal risk to the Officer. Deadly force from range is recommended to subdue Wizards and Changelings.
**Criminals in hostile environments such as space, fire, or plasma leaks also fall into this category, as do criminals believed to be in possession of high explosives. Ranged lethal force is the only reasonable option in these conditions.

*'''Armed and Dangerous''' - if a suspect is in possession of weapons, including stun weapons, and you have reasonable suspicion that they will use these against you, lethal force is permitted. Although in the majority of cases it is still preferable to attempt to detain them non-lethally.
**Unauthorized personnel in the armory are considered by default to be Armed and Dangerous, maximum force is permitted to subdue such targets.

*'''Multiple Hostiles''' - it can be extremely difficult to detain multiple hostiles. '''As a last resort''' if you are being mobbed you may deploy your baton in a harmful manner to thin the crowd. Generally it is better to retreat and regroup than stand your ground.
Additionally, in the event of an attempted prison break, Security may fire lasers through the glass. They are expected to first fire a few warning shots before unloading their weapon into the target.

{{pp|vandalism|small=1}}
Space Law is a collection of rules and regulations enacted by [[Backstory#Nanotrasen|Nanotrasen]] which has oversight through [[Backstory#Central Command|CentCom]] and is enforced by the [[Security|Sec Officers]] on the vessel. Space Law applies to all ranks and positions on vessel, from the lowliest Assistant to the highest Captain, all are equal under the eyes of the Law and ultimately answer to her.

''The rules and regulations herein are not absolutes, instead they exist to serve mainly as '''guidelines''' for the law and order of the dynamic situations that exist for vessels on the frontiers of space, as such some leeway is permitted.''
=== Crime Codes Quick Reference ===

Crime codes are made up of Category Codes (_xx), which are a collection of similar crimes on a line for ease of use, prefixed by the Severity Number (X__).

Additionally, certain modifiers might affect the punishment, they are to be appendixed as follows:

The Severity Modifier is appended at the end of the crime code number as follows: XXX-_. It only gets applied during martial law, and as such may be highly situational, as no emergency is the same.

The Sentence modifiers are shown in the rightmost column, they are to be appended to the right of the severity modifier as follows: XXX-S_

===Interpretation of the Law===
A good working knowledge of Space Law is important for any person on the vessel. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping Gargle Blasters in the bar. More in depth interpretations of space law are required for such positions as the Staff Judge Advocate, Warden, HoP, and the HoS. While it is unlikely that the officers will listen particularly closely to your protestations, it may be enough to lighten your sentence and avoid ill treatment by the MP.

For certain crimes, the accused's intent is important. The difference between Murder and Manslaughter can be very hard to ascertain, and you should default to the less severe one.

Additionally, "stacking" of ''sentences'' is not allowed, and only the sentence of the most severe crime is to be applied.

A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took three items off of someone, this is a single count of pick-pocketing, if they pick-pocketed two people this would be two separate counts of pick-pocketing, and so on.

'''As an example of this:'''

An assistant walks around the ship naked, stealing IDs from multiple people and then deepfrying them after breaking into the kitchen. This happened at least a few times. The seperate instances of those crimes would be documented like this:
* 209 Theft | Stole multiple IDs on seperate counts. (We cannot be sure how many times it happened, as such we only mark it once and note in the description that it was done a bunch.)
* 105 B&E | Broke into the kitchen on seperate counts. (Same here.)
* 201 Major Vandalism | Deep fried a bunch of people's IDs. (Same here.)
* 212 Indecent Exposure | Constant nakedness.
Since he was actively running from security this entire time, the "G" sentence modifier is applied to all of them, doubling their sentences. And since we do not stack sentences, and their most severe crime is major vandalism, we give them a clean and solid 20 minute brig time.

Aiding a criminal makes you an accomplice; you can be charged with the same ''sentence'' as the person you aided as per sentence modifier H: Aiding and Abetting.

'''Always remember, if you're unsure, go with the most lenient option. Being lenient when reasonable is a powerful tool for security, it helps greatly to have a cooperative crew on your side. You're all in this together after all.'''
====Brig Procedures====
Standard Operational Procedures for brigging are as follows:
#Take the prisoner to the brig and inform the Warden of their crimes so their Security Record may be updated.
# Hold the prisoner over one of the genpop lockers, and empty their inventory into it.
#Search the items removed and be sure to check the internals box in their backpack.
#Confiscate any contraband and/or stolen items, as well as any tools that may be used for future crimes. These are to be placed in evidence, '''not left on the brig floor or your personal use''', until they can be returned to their rightful owners.
#Enter their crime into the genpop interface on the wall and receive their prisoner ID card.
#Close and lock their locker with their ID card.
#Put the ID card on the prisoners ID card slot, and move them into the cell.
#Uncuff, stun them if they pose a danger still.
#Take the cuffs with you, and leave the prisoner to their sentence.
#Modify their brig sentence for additional offences or good behavior, if applicable.
'''Do''' ''NOT''''' fully strip the prisoner unless they have earned a permanent sentence.'''

The [[Warden]] or [[Head of Security]] are responsible for placing prisoners in permanent confinement.
#Permanent Prisoners are to be completely stripped of their belongings, which are to be held in either evidence or a prison locker.
#The prisoner is to be dressed in an Orange Prison Jumpsuit and Shoes, which are found in the prison lockers.
# Permanent Prisoners are not permitted to possess any personal belongings whilst they are incarcerated in the [[Prison Wing]].
====Legal Representation and Trials====
Prisoners are permitted to seek legal representation on permanent sentences, you must take steps to provide this if possible.

Staff Judge Advocates, and by extension the Executive Officer/Captain, exist to serve as a guiding hand and the voice of reason within the judicial process, however they have zero authority over the brig, security personnel, prisoners, or sentencing.

The Staff Judge Advocates' security headset is a privilege not a right. Security personnel are under no requirement to listen to them and security channel abuse is to result in that privilege being revoked.
*If the Staff Judge Advocate continuously acts as a disruptive influence Security are fully permitted to confiscate their access, remove them from the brig and bar their future access to it.
In instances where a conflict of opinion arises over the sentence of a prisoner the [[Chain_of_Command|chain of command]] '''must''' be followed. This goes along the usual rank hierarchy.

Trials are not to be performed for Timed Sentences. This is mainly for the benefit of the accused as trials will often run many times the length of the actual sentence.
*Trials may be performed for Capital Crimes and Permanent Detention, however there is no requirement to hold them. Forensic Evidence, Witness Testimony, or Confessions are all that is required for the Head of Security, Warden or Captain to authorize their sentence.
In cases where the Death Penalty is desired but the Captain or Acting-Captain is unable or unwilling to authorize the execution a trial '''is required''' to authorise the death penalty.
====Use of Deadly Force====
As a member of the vessels Security force you are one of the best armed and protected people on the vessel, equipped with the almost latest in non-lethal takedown technology.

It is for this reason that the situations that warrant the use of Deadly Force are few and far between, in the grand majority of circumstances you will be expected to use your stun weapons, which indeed are many times more effective than lethal options, to diffuse a situation.

There are a few circumstances where deadly force is permissible:
*'''General Quarters / Martial Law''' - situations which endanger the wellbeing of the vessel, such as any crime with the X Severity modifier, or the presence of highly dangerous adversaries such as Nuclear Operatives or a Space Wizard, authorise lethal force to be used if needed.
**A single shove does not constitute assault, not on an officer nor on anyone else. If you kill someone because of a single shove, be prepared to spend some time in the brig yourself, because you just committed manslaughter.

*'''Non-Lethal Weapons Ineffective''' - certain targets are impervious to NLWs, such as Mechs, Xenomorphs, Borgs, and Hulks. Lethal force may be used against these targets if they prove hostile.

*'''Severe Personal Risk''' - sometimes getting close enough to a target to slap the cuffs on will create significant personal risk to the Officer. Deadly force from range is recommended to subdue Wizards and Changelings.
**Criminals in hostile environments such as space, fire, or plasma leaks also fall into this category, as do criminals believed to be in possession of high explosives. Ranged lethal force is the only reasonable option in these conditions.

*'''Armed and Dangerous''' - if a suspect is in possession of weapons, including stun weapons, and you have reasonable suspicion that they will use these against you, lethal force is permitted. Although in the majority of cases it is still preferable to attempt to detain them non-lethally.
**Unauthorized personnel in the armory are considered by default to be Armed and Dangerous, maximum force is permitted to subdue such targets.

*'''Multiple Hostiles''' - it can be extremely difficult to detain multiple hostiles. '''As a last resort''' if you are being mobbed you may deploy your baton in a harmful manner to thin the crowd. Generally it is better to retreat and regroup than stand your ground.
Additionally, in the event of an attempted prison break, Security may fire lasers through the glass. They are expected to first fire a few warning shots before unloading their weapon into the target.

|Current enemies of the federation include: The Syndicate (through secret agents, boarding parties, and brainwashing specialists), The Wizard Federation, The Changeling Hivemind, and The Cult of Nar'Sie.
Please also consider that deconversion is preferable to charging under EOTC. This is a '''LAST RESORT''', and a trial must be held before conviction of personnel that were at any time on the crew manifest. Heretics are exempt from the trial requirement, and have their sentence executed without a trial.
|-

|[[File:High_value_target_theft.png]]
|'''Grand Larceny'''
|To steal inherently dangerous items from their storage, one’s person, or other such methods acquire through illicit means.
| Syndicate agents frequently attempt to steal cutting-edge technology. Examples include: intelligence or research samples, the Hand Teleporter, the Captain's Antique Laser, the Captain or the HoP's ID cards, or Mechs. This is by no means a exhaustive list of items that are high value to the syndicate; when in doubt use common sense when you see certain items that are stolen that can cause massive problems throughout the vessel. Remember if something is locked up in a secure area it probably should not be taken without prior permission.

Altangy: Replaced 'clsoe' with 'close' in the 'When Not In Combat' section

=Your Job=

Your primary task aboard the ship is to operate the systems that the engineers and [[Guide_to_Munitions|munitions techs]] maintain and feed. These include the piloting of the ship and operation of most of the weapons, and they can be divided fairly distinctly by which console does what. Your secondary job, being the captain's personal whipping boy, doesn't have an associated console, unless you count the one you'll inevitably beat your head against.

=The Consoles=

Each console could be said to play a diffrent, distinct role. Ideally, you'll onyl have to operate one at a time, but it isn't uncommon for the bridge to be short-staffed or just plain incompetent. You should be at least passingly familiar with each of these. I don't actually rmeember the proper name for each console, but hopefully someone will come along and correct my placeholders. Hopefully.

==The Piloting Console==

The operator of this console is responsible for flying the ship. It's fairly straightforward, but there are some keys you need to know. In general, avoid getting hit, dodge torpedoes, and avoid boarding vessels while remaining within sight of the enemy for your gunner.

The Space bar toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit space to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

W and S control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. If you're not using hotkeys, you may need to use the arrow keys instead; I'm not entirely sure. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The Alt key is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay there. '''Do not leave the parking break on while jumping into a hot zone.''' The chances that you remember to turn it off in those first few seconds of dodging torpedoes is very much '''not''' 100%. The deaths of so many innocent men weigh upon my soul.

The Shift Key activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading boarders.

Q and E activate a rotational drift, which is useful for </s>pulling sick drifts</s>turning very quickly.

Left click to fire a MAC round straight out of the nose of the ship. This can be very useful for finishing off crafts that have become unresponsive. This weapon is quite powerful and can fires more quickly than you'd think. ''MAC rounds? In atmosphere? It's more likely than you'd think.''

==The Gunnery Console==

The gunnery console is a little more straightforward, but it pays to have munitions tech experience. Knowing the rough ammo capacity of different weapons can be useful, but the names themselves are fairly informative. Hit the Ctrl key to switch between weapons. Being on this console will also give you a readout on the remaining ammo (in percenatages) of the ships weapons, including those you can't fire from this console, as well as the ship's armor and strucutural integrity. ''Your'' weapons include:

The PDC, or point defense cannons, are machine guns designed to destroy incoming missiles and sometimes fighter craft. Many gunners use these almost exclusively, ass they're very easy to aim due to their high fire rate and ammo capacity. Neither cargo nor munitions will be happy if you do this.

The torpedo tubes, usuually four in number, fire big, slow, powerful torpedoes. There's a 50/50 chance that a munitions tech panics, runs out of standard torpedoes, and loads a nuke if you use these often. Unless they tell you over comms, you have no way of knowing this, nor choosing which tube you fire.

The rail guns are your medium option. They fire extremely fast tungsten rods at the enemy ship. Leading your shots isn't necessary when firing a rail gun, as they pretty much draw a line instantly in the direction of your aim. If you don't use these enough, the munitions techs will let you know.

You'll also have readouts for the gauss turrets, the MAC gun, and the flak turrets, but you can't fire these from this console. The MAC gun is fired by the pilot, the gauss turrets are fired by the munitions techs, and I honestly have no clue who fires the flak turrets, only that the magazine ''demands to be fed.''

==The DRADIS==

This is effectively the ship's radar, a medium-range sensor suit that can identify targets at short range and see them coming from a fairly long range. Ideally,you'll have a dedicated member of the brige crew watching this and informing the gunner and pilot of the enemy's wherabouts and numbers. In reality, you'll probabaly have to do this yourself. If you do have two members of the bridge crew, it's generally better for the gunner to be the one who hops off his console to check if there are any remaining enemies, given that the pilot doing so could mean the ship eating a nuke. No, I don't know what the acronym stands for, but I like to think it's Doing Really Awesome Drifts In Space.

==The FTL Console==

This console controls the ship's longe-range movement. It will provide you a map of various star systems that the ship can navigate to, as well as the ship's current location and how charged the FTL drive is. In order to make a jump, the drive must be 100% spooled up, which takes about a minute. If it isn't spooling at all, yell at engineering. As one might expect, this console doesn't need a dedicated crewmember; the pilot usually takes care of the job. However, in combat scenarios where the ship is fleeing, it might be neccesary for another member of the bridge crew to operate the FTL console while the pilot runs evasive maneuvers.

=When Not In Combat=

When you're not in combat, your second job comes in: Being the captain's whipping boy. During FTL jumps and while waiting for engineering to get its shit together, feel free to go make a run to the nearby cigarette vendor to sate the crippling nicotine addiction that you've adopted in order to retain your sanity while working this close to the captain. And remember, memeing with the captain is an important job. No matter how flagrantly he's abandonning his duty to throw stupid parties, your answer should always be "Yes </s>dear</s>sir."
