According to Donovan's:
"Ships can be handed over to another race by giving the ship a friendly code of "gsX". In this case X corresponds with the
racenumber or -letter of the intended new owner: to give a ship to the Feds the
friendly code must be "gs1", to give a ship to the
Lizards it should be "gs2" and so on, "gsa" to give a ship to the Rebels and "gsb" to give a ship to the Colonies. The gsX
friendly codes only work if the person giving the ship away has a registered
version of VGA Planets.For the ship to switch ownership, it has to be in the same position as a ship
of the intended new owner, and the receiving ship must have at least one clan
onboard. This clan will not be transferred, so multiple ships can be received by
the same ship. Both the receiving ship and the ship that is given away may be
cloaked. Since transferring cargo is handled before beamtransfers, it is
possible to transfer a clan to the receiving ship and give away your ship(s) in
the same turn. Giving ships away happens in order of ship ID, from low to high. The ID of
the ship that is given away determines the order. A ship that is given away
using the gsX code will have it's mission reset to "exploration", but due to the
host order of actions it will still be invisible to enemies if the ship was
cloaked. The ship will also be able to move to it's waypoint while being given
away, speed and waypoint are not reset." |
