Here's some useful information if you make heavy use of empire's command
syntax. Delivery directions can be expressed as numbers. This is useful
if you want to set up, say, oil delivery routes that exactly match existing
dust delivery routes.
Delivery directions Corresponding value
y u 6 1
g j 5 2
b n 4 3
So to do the above example over realm 3, one would enter six commands:
deliver oil #3 ?d_del=1
Deliver oil from capital at 0,0 in what direction? u
and answer 'u' until command finishes.
Then:
deliver oil #3 ?d_del=2, answer 'j', and so on.
Also: prices seem to be reflected as /2. for example:
contract food 0,0 yes
POGO offers $3.12 per unit of food in 0,0. accepted.
census 0,0 ?f_p=155
0 sectors
census 0,0 ?f_p=156
0,0 c 100% 127 ..$ ... 999 999 999 56 34 65 32 etc..
1 sector
this may vary from system to system and between commodities.
