This section describes all ship properties. These can be accessed using Ship(id).FIELD, using a ForEach loop, and with the search and print functions.

Many ship properties are only known for own ships. Some are also known for visual contacts, and only a few for non-visual contacts (you may get non-visual contacts if you receive DOS-style RST files). Ships whose position was guessed by PCC also count as non-visual contacts. Unknown values are EMPTY, even if not explicitly stated here.

Ship properties can be prefixed with Ship.. This makes it possible to refer to a ship property which is currently shadowed by an equally-named property of another object. For example, the following is a more complicated way to say CargoUpload "300n":

 With Planet(Orbit$) Do CargoTransfer Ship.Id, "300n"

Without the explicit Ship., this would pass a planet Id where CargoTransfer expects a ship Id, which makes no sense.

Some of the ship properties can be assigned. If that would violate any constraint of a fleet (i.e. you try to change the speed of an ordinary member), the assignment is silently ignored.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
