Sent when: AllowMoreThan50Targets is disabled, but more than 50 enemy or allied ships are scanned, in total, and player is receiving a DOS-style RST.
This record has the very same format as a targetX.dat entry. The first 50 ships are stored in the player's RST file. The excess are transmitted with this message, or in a separate section of the result when the player uses Winplan.
Most entries in this record are self-explanatory. The Heading word is in the range 0 to 359 indicating compass direction of travel (0 is due north and the angle increases clockwise). Heading may also be -1 (0xFFFF) to indicate an unknown direction.
Name is actually a 20-byte field containing the ship's name.
Target records may differ from the real ship in the following aspects:
- When the AllowShipNames option is set appropriately, ship names may be stubbed out.
- Fuel-less ships are reported as having warp zero and no heading.
- When the RacePlus "chameleon device" is used, Lizard ships can report fake hull types.
