SOMETHING NEW: REMOTE CONTROL FOR PLANETS

by Hazed

It's not all doom, gloom and disaster recovery. Bella has also provided something new to cheer up POs - the commands to look at your exchange remotely. You can now all congregate in the same bar and be sociable, while still checking your planet.

The change is to the 'DI EXCHANGE' command which you can now use with the planetname to see the details wherever you are, so long as you own the named planet: 'DI EXCHANGE planetname'. For example, 'di exchange rigel 4' would show the owner of Rigel 4 what was going on, although traditionally the owner of Rigel 4 has taken such a hands-off approach to planetary management it's unlikely she would ever bother.

The command also works when checking commodity groups: 'DI EXCHANGE commoditygroup planetname', for example 'di exchange agri rigel 4'.

Not only will this, I hope, lead to more parties and bar crawls, it will also be of assistance to Moguls who until now have had to commute between their two planets.

More remote controls will be added soon.
