word Ship Id word Remote Control Flag (...repeated for each ship)
This record is used to report the original owner of ships that are under remote control and that are visible to the player this turn. This record also informs the player of his/her ships that are forbidden from being remotely controlled. This record is of variable length, depending upon the number of ships that are reported (which can be determined from the length of the record). For a record of length 4*N bytes, there will be N sets of words, each set describing one ship Id and that ship's status.
- If the Remote Control Flag is a player number (1..11), that is the ship's true owner. When you remote-control a Rebel ship, the RST file reports it as yours, and this record reports the true owner as 10. When the Lizards control one of your ships, the RST will report it as a Lizard ship, and this utilX.dat record will report your player number as the true owner.
- If the Remote Control Flag is 0xFFFF (all bits are 1), the ship is forbidden from being remotely controlled. Currently, only your own un-remoteable ships are reported.
