Commands and Aliases
Regular, Captain-only, and Combat Commands. Along with tips for making aliases for quick actions.
Basic Commandsship board (direction or ship name)
--Ye can't sail if you're not aboard.
ship exit [(direction)]
--Ye can't adventure all the time while on your ship.

Movement Commands

ship speed (speed)
--Selects the speed at which your ship will sail; stop, slow, half, full, flank.
ship engine (engine type)
--Ye can power your sail under either sail or steam.
ship rigging (rigging type)
Normal, Weather, or Combat. Weather is currently not needed and it also halves your speed, and you need combat rigging to battle.
ship course list

ship course set ('course name' or number)
--Sets your ship onto a course to reach the specified mark or course.
ship course cancel
--Stops your current course.

Combat Commands
ship target [(ship or sea creature name or number)]
---Targets the specified ship or monster. If no new target is specified, this command will show distance and health information of the target.
ship target attacker
---Targets the ship attacking you! Simplifies hunting pirates when many are close by, and might also work for SPK.
ship weapon [('uninstall')]
--A useless command, only a foolish captain would uninstall their weapons!
ship weapon priority (weapon) #
-- This allows you to just 'ship fire' if you have set a priority list for the weapons to fire from. 10 is the highest, down to 1. Then zero never allows that bank to fire.
ship fire (weapon bank name)
---Fires the specified weapon at your target.
Other Captain-Only Commands

--Designates someone aboard your ship as an officer capable of helping you command the vessel. If killing Pirates, both of you will split the experience points.

--Dumps an amount of cargo overboard. If no amount is specified, all of that cargo of that type is dumped.

ship flag (flag name)
--If you have a flag mount, you will fly the specified flag.
Ship Aliases
Typing in some of the ship commands can be very tedious. Convenience in entering commands can be gained by using client or in-game aliases. Speed is only truly necessary with the combat commands, but is useful in all the other commands.
Use short words or abbreviations, no longer than 5 or 6 letters. Below is a list of the aliases that I use. Build off these examples if you wish.
They can be used with the in-game aliases, but some of the multi line aliases I use from my client.
