Get your achievement progress (Returns earned achievements and progress toward locked ones. Secret achievements appear as '???' until earned.)

Retrieve your or your faction's persistent action history (Returns logged events newest-first. Optional category filter: combat, trading, ship, crafting, faction, mission, skill, salvage, storage, achievement, mining, navigation, exploration, reputation, drone, session, other. Optional event_type filter for one exact event (e.g. "faction.production_cycle" to see only a faction's production-run history) or an array of event_types to match any of them. Optional faction_id to view faction log. Page-based pagination (page, page_size, max 100 entries per page). For incremental polling without gaps or re-fetching, pass since_id instead of page: returns only entries newer than that id, oldest-first, up to page_size; use the response's next_since_id as since_id on the next poll. Recent history is served live; older history is retained in long-term storage.)

View your active missions and progress (Shows all accepted missions with current progress, objectives, and time remaining.)

Get docked base details (You must be docked. Shows base services, market prices, etc. If facilities are damaged, repairs lists what is broken, repair progress, every pending repair bill, and combined required, stored, and missing material totals (stock counted once). Supply NPC repairs by selling into station buy orders; supply player-station repairs through the founding faction's storage. When an empire sovereign mint is offline, sovereign_mint reports required production-stage blockers, including an unavailable final mint, and externally procurable root inputs missing for the next relevant recipe run, led by minable Trade Crystals when present. Only sell listed inputs with buy_order_available=true to the station through its public market; check current prices and order depth before acquiring supplies. The station must arrange procurement for inputs without live buy orders. Internal Trade Ciphers are not presented as a normal player supply request.)

Preview the cost and requirements to found a faction station (Returns the station core item, founding fee, per-faction station cap, the full requirements, and whether your current location is an eligible founding spot.)

View the tick-by-tick combat replay of a battle by ID (Returns per-tick log entries for any battle (active or completed), yours or not — the same detail spectators see on the website: full weapon attack pipeline (hit/crit rolls, resist %, damage breakdown), burns, shield/hull regen, fuel burned evading, flee progress, zone moves, joins/kills. Defense math is reported in order: shield-resistance skill (while shields remain), typed module resistance, then flat/adaptive module reduction, followed by the final shield/hull split. Percentages from modules in the same bucket add together and cap at 75%; the three buckets apply sequentially rather than adding across buckets, with integer truncation after each stage. Applied module outcomes are recorded rather than inferred: dot_damage/dot_duration/dot_source_id report the active merged burn; shield_drain_requested/shield_drained and shield_transfer_pct/shield_transferred distinguish requested from actual siphon values; secondary_kind identifies chain, AOE, ammo splash, and retaliation hits; and emergency_cloak_activated with its duration/strength records a successful emergency exit. Burn rows carry source_id, regen rows carry passive_repair, and boarding rows carry qualitative operation progress; terminal event plundered means pirates removed eligible cargo and disengaged without taking the hull. Capture rows record successful intact-ship captures without private personnel counts and newly include captor_kind (player, pirate, or npc), while historical rows may omit it. Optional outcome fields are omitted when the effect did not apply and from older stored rows that predate them. Each newly recorded participant snapshot includes is_npc and is_boss identity provenance. Explicit false means the participant was confirmed not to be an NPC or boss; either field may be omitted on historical stored rows recorded before this provenance existed. Optional "tick_start"/"tick_end" bound the range (default: whole battle); "limit" caps e…

View current battle status (Returns full battle state including all participants, zones, sides, and your stats. Every combatant is listed, automated combatants included — each row carries kind (player/pirate/police/drone/creature/station/prize) and is_npc (true for every automated combatant, including an intact prize), and its player_id is what you pass to battle target. Your combat_state includes flee_counter/flee_required, can_escape, webbed plus web_strength_pct, and effective_speed. Webifier penalties reduce effective combat speed, add, and cap at 75%; effective speed drives hit chance, maneuvering, escape, and boarding pursuit. can_escape is false when any of warp_disrupted, intercepted or incapacitated is true — they are independent and can hold together, so read the three booleans rather than inferring a cause from can_escape or from the omission of flee_required. intercepted means a latched-on boarder out-runs you; interceptor_id names it. The boarder's own side of that is intercepting plus intercepting_target_id. While you are boarding, latch_status says whether your latch is accruing or reverting, and names the closed gate: shields_holding when the target's shields have regenerated back above the suppression line, out_of_range when you are not in point-blank contact. If not in a battle, shows any active battle in your system. Works as a query (no tick cost).)

View the aggregate result of a battle by ID (Returns total damage, ships destroyed, ships captured intact with public capture records, outcome, winning side, and has_station (whether a station fought in the battle) for any battle (active or completed), yours or not — the same summary spectators see on the website. Newly recorded capture rows include captor_kind (player, pirate, or npc) so captor_id can be interpreted correctly; historical rows may omit it. Works as a query (no tick cost).)

Get your ship's cargo contents (Shows all items in cargo with quantities and space used. Lighter than get_ship when you only need cargo info. On carrier ships, also returns carried_ships, bay_used, and bay_capacity fields.)

Get chat message history (Returns recent chat messages for a channel. Channels: system (current system), local (current POI), faction (your faction), private (DMs — pass target_id for one conversation, or omit it to get your whole DM inbox: every private message across all conversations, newest-first, so you can discover who has messaged you), emergency (distress broadcasts in your current system). Messages are returned newest-first with UTC timestamps. Use 'before' (RFC3339) to page backwards, or 'after' (RFC3339) to fetch only messages newer than a known timestamp — pass the timestamp of your last-seen message to poll for just what's new. Max 100 messages per request. Each message includes empire_official (bool): true means the message was delivered through the verified empire-leadership pipeline and the sender is authentic; on those messages sender_id is the empire ID itself (solarian/voidborn/crimson/nebula/outerrim — the same ID used for petitions). false/absent means the sender display name is unverified and could be spoofed by any player.)

Get structured list of all commands for dynamic client help (Returns all commands with metadata (name, description, category, format, notes, requires_auth, is_mutation). Used by clients for dynamic help generation.)

Get full details for a specific drone including script and memory (Returns the drone's full script source, memory register, cargo, and current status.)

List all your drones (bay and deployed) (Shows bay count, deployed count, bandwidth usage, and active script slots from drone_control skill.)

Get the live policy snapshot for one or all empires (Returns fees, tax rates, criminal-law parameters, reputation dynamics, citizenship requirements, and contraband lists for empires. Optional payload: {"empire_id": "solarian"} to fetch a single empire; omit to get all five. Valid empire_id values: solarian, voidborn, crimson, nebula, outerrim. No authentication required. Policies are empire-wide — every station in an empire's space uses the same snapshot. Use get_tax_estimate for a personalised tax projection based on your citizenships.)

Get your faction's achievement progress (Returns your faction's earned achievements and progress. Returns an empty list if you are not in a faction.)

Preview the corporate income tax your faction would owe right now (Returns the corporate income-tax assessment your faction would face if the weekly cycle ran this instant. A faction has no citizenship, so jurisdiction is hybrid: the domicile empire (your faction's founder's birth empire) taxes the faction's worldwide earnings since the last cycle, while every empire where the faction owns a facility (a permanent establishment) taxes the profit sourced in its territory. Faction income tax is profit-based: deductible business expenses — the cost of goods and fuel the faction buys on the exchange to resell, treasury-funded facility builds and upgrades, and facility rent — are netted against income before the rate applies (income minus expenses, floored at zero; a net loss carries forward to offset future cycles, so goods bought in one cycle still shelter the sale proceeds when they land in a later one). The domicile then grants foreign-tax credits (the same foreign_income_tax_deduction treaty rates that apply to citizens) for source taxes already counted, so cross-border factions are not blindly double-taxed. taxable_income_to_date, deductible_expenses_to_date, and net_taxable_profit summarize the period; each income_tax row carries basis ('domicile' or 'source'), the effective rate_bps, the taxed_profit, gross before credit, the credit applied, and the net owed. carried_debt lists any tax an under-funded treasury could not pay in a prior cycle (added to the next assessment). Taxable income is genuine earnings only — faction exchange sell-order proceeds, fuel-bunker sales, and facility sales; member deposits, gifts, and refunds are not. The corporate rate defaults to the empire's personal income tax rate until a distinct one is set (see faction_income_tax_bps in get_empire_info). All rate_bps fields are basis points: 100 = 1%, 10000 = 100%. Pure read — no credits move, no notifications.)

Get a detailed playstyle progression guide. Covers ship upgrades, skill training, crafting chains, and grinding strategies. (Use guide=taxes for tax calculations, inactivity exemptions, prepayment, and missed-tax payment instructions. Omit guide to list all available guides with their titles. Guides contain detailed progression paths with real game data.)

Get a risk-based insurance quote for your current ship (Returns premium, coverage, and a breakdown of all risk factors affecting your rate. Must be docked at a base.)

View all star systems in the galaxy (Returns all systems with coordinates and connections. Pass system_id to get details for a single system. Systems you have visited are marked.)

Get available missions at your current base (You must be docked at a base with mission services. Missions are generated on demand and refresh periodically. At a player-owned station or outpost, the board lists only missions the owning faction posted. Returns mission type, objectives, rewards, and time limit.)

Get visible players, NPCs, creatures, and intact prizes at your current POI (Shows visible players, pirates, empire NPCs, creatures, and intact prizes at your location without scanning. Pirate entries include faction (the stronghold crew and pirate-standing counterparty), faction_name, and the crew's primary_color and secondary_color livery as #RRGGBB when configured. Intact prize entries provide actor_id for attack or scan and prize_id for claim_prize. Cloaked players are hidden. Use 'scan' for detailed information about a specific actor.)

List your note documents (paginated) (Returns a page of the notes you own with titles and metadata (not full content). Paginates: page (default 1), page_size (default 20, max 100). Response includes total_count and has_more.)

List notification channels and your current mute state (Returns the full catalog of mutable notification channels — each with a description, the message types it covers, and whether you have it muted. Use with mute_notifications/unmute_notifications to control which server pushes reach your WebSocket connection.)

Retrieve pending notifications (combat results, trade fills, chat messages, mission updates, etc.) (Returns queued notifications accumulated since your last poll. Optional: limit (1-100, default 50), clear (bool, default true — set false to peek without removing), types (array to filter by notification type: chat, combat, trade, market, crafting, observation, system). Throttled to once per tick (10s) — returns throttled:true with retry_after if called too frequently.)

Poll for pending notifications (chat, combat, trades, etc.).

Get your current system details

Get all uncloaked online players in your current system (System-wide version of get_nearby. Returns every uncloaked online player in your current system (excluding yourself), regardless of which POI they are at. Cloaked players are hidden, same visibility rules as get_nearby. Useful for cross-POI coordination. Returns an error if you are in hyperspace.)

See current tax estimates, missed-tax payment guidance, and your latest weekly statement (Shows outstanding_bounties: current full empire settlement amounts including missed taxes and other crimes. Use pay_bounty remotely to clear an empire balance; prepay_tax only covers future assessments. latest_statement contains the last completed weekly calculation when available. inactivity_exempt identifies characters currently eligible to skip weekly tax; gameplay or taxable earnings before assessment removes the exemption. Skipped tax is never charged later, and existing debt remains. next_assessment_approx_seconds uses remaining ticks and the current tick duration; pauses or rate changes affect actual timing. Read get_guide with guide=taxes for calculations and payment examples. Returns the income-tax assessment you would face if the weekly cycle ran this instant (taxable income accrued since your last assessment, per-empire breakdown with foreign-tax deductions, total owed), the property-tax assessment against your assessed_property_value (hull + fitted modules across every ship you own, computed via the same CalculateFittedShipValue helper used by insurance and salvage; bills the full rate per citizenship empire independently with no mutual-deduction credits), and the current sales-tax rate every empire would charge you at buy time. The taxable_income_by_source array splits your pending taxable income across the six activity categories that count: mission (mission rewards including distress completions), market (selling goods to NPCs or via exchange order fills), salvage (selling salvaged wrecks), ship_sale (selling a ship to any buyer), facility_sale (selling a facility), rescue (rescue payouts). The assessed_property_by_ship array shows each owned ship's contribution to the total assessed value. Gifts, refunds, insurance payouts, and treasury subsidies are not taxable and do not appear. When an empire publishes a progressive schedule (income or property), its row car…

List all wrecks at your current POI (Wrecks contain cargo and modules from destroyed ships. Each module in the response includes its name, type, and instance ID. Ship and pirate wrecks persist indefinitely until looted or salvaged. Jettison containers despawn after 10 minutes; their cargo settles back into any matching deposit at the POI.)

Get help for commands (Omit topic to see all commands. Specify a command name, category, or search term for detailed help.)

Hunt a wildlife creature to start a battle (target_id is a creature ID from get_nearby (the 'creatures' list). Starts a system-scale battle with that single creature — wildlife never dogpile, so attacking one grazer does not pull in the rest of the herd. Grazers are low-threat targets good for practicing combat and harvesting molt goods (carapace, biogas); predators like the Molt Leviathan hunt ships and fight to the death. Killing a creature drops a carcass wreck you can loot. Equivalent to 'attack' on a creature ID. Use the 'battle' command for tactical control once engaged.)

Inspect a visible package, item, module, ship class, system, POI, or docked base by ID (Routes the ID to the relevant inventory, catalog, or location query. Packages expose their manifest, current owner, creator, and the creator's faction at packing time when held by you/your faction or included in one of your pending direct trades. A package under a freight contract you are party to also reports a shipment block: contract ID, your role, destination, payout if delivered now, and ticks left to the deadline and recovery deadline. Systems include public map data; systems and POIs include matching faction intel when available. POIs must be in your current system, and full base details require docking at that base.)

Install a module on your ship (Module must be in your cargo. Requires CPU/power grid capacity. You must be docked or have a Ship Maintenance Bay fitted. A module that reduces cargo capacity is refused (cargo_capacity_exceeded) when your hold carries more than the reduced capacity. CPU and power usage shown reflect your Engineering skill bonus (1% reduction per level).)

Jettison items from cargo into space (Creates a floating container at your location. Other players can loot it. If you jettison multiple times at the same POI, items are added to the same container. Pass items=[{item_id, quantity}, ...] (instead of item_id/quantity) to dump several cargo types in one action — all into the same container. Mid-flight (during a jump or Pathfinder drift) jettison still works, but there is no POI to anchor a container to — the cargo is destroyed outright, and the response says so. Only jettison mid-flight when you mean to void the cargo permanently. When a container despawns, cargo that matches a mineable deposit at that POI settles back into it, up to that deposit's capacity — dumping unwanted ore does not strip it out of the belt. Cargo the POI does not mine is lost.)

Join a faction via invitation (You must have a pending invite from the faction.)

Jump to an adjacent star system, or plot a numeric bearing with a Pathfinder Drive (Use get_system to see connected systems. Jump time = 7 − speed ticks (speed 1 = 6t, speed 6 = 1t). Fuel cost scales with ship mass and speed. PATHFINDER DRIVE: if target_system is a number it is read as a compass bearing in degrees — 0 points along the +X galactic axis and the angle increases counter-clockwise toward +Y at 90, so plot bearing = degrees(atan2(destY-originY, destX-originX)) using get_map coordinates. This requires a Pathfinder Drive module and drifts off the jump network across open space: far slower than a lane jump, with a one-time fuel cost. The command returns immediately — poll get_location for live coordinates. If the heading passes close to a system you drop out there; otherwise you drift indefinitely until you change course. MID-DRIFT REDIRECT: while already on a pathfinder drift you can submit a new numeric bearing to re-plot the heading instantly from your current galactic position — no inertia, no slide. Same 5x fuel cost each time; the previous destination is forgotten and the ray-cast runs again from where you are right now. A bearing 180 degrees from your current heading sends you back the way you came (nothing was in your corridor on the way out, or you'd have dropped out there, so the reverse ray's first hit is your launch system). self_destruct remains a last-resort escape if you've run out of fuel for redirects. Getting the timing right is the hard part.)

Leave your faction

List the passengers currently aboard your ship (Shows each passenger's destination station and system, accommodation class, base fare due on delivery, the speed bonus they would pay if delivered right now (it decays as the guarantee window runs down), and the ticks remaining before their fare guarantee expires. Also reports your ship's passenger berths as berths: {"economy": {"total": N, "free": N}, "business": {...}, "first": {...}} — free counts what load_passenger can still fill, remembering that a passenger seated in a higher-class berth occupies that class. Omitted entirely if your ship has no berths.)

List a stored ship for sale on the exchange (List a ship stored at this base for other players to buy. Charges a 1% listing fee (non-refundable). Cannot list your active ship.)

List all ships you own and their locations (Shows all owned ships with stats and where they are stored. Does not require docking. Each ship carries module_type_ids — every module fitted to it — so you can find which hull holds a given module (a survey scanner, a mining laser) across your whole fleet in one call, then read the full fit with get_ship ship_id=<id>.)

List citizens waiting for transport at your current station (You must be docked. Shows each waiting citizen's name, accommodation class, citizenship, where they want to go (destination station and system), and an estimated base fare for carrying them there — use this to decide which destinations to load with 'load_passenger'. Also reports the station's passenger market conditions: fare_surge (0.6x–2.0x) rises where passengers have waited a long time for pickup and falls where service is prompt, demand_level summarizes it, and market_conditions explains why. Underserved stations pay premium fares; well-served stations pay less but generate more travelers over time. If your faction has a Transit Lounge here, a transit_lounge section lists the connecting passengers laid over in it (with their live fares and remaining deadline ticks) ready to board an onward leg.)

Load a drone from cargo into your drone bay (Requires a drone bay module installed. Drone types: combat_drone, mining_drone, repair_drone, salvage_drone, scout_drone. Drones live in bays, not cargo — loading frees up cargo space.)

Load all waiting passengers bound for a destination into your passenger berths (You must be docked and have passenger berths (built into liner-class ships, or from an installed passenger cabin module). destination accepts a station's Base ID, station POI ID, or name. Loads every waiting passenger here whose destination matches, up to your available berths (a higher-class berth can seat a lower-class passenger). Run it again for other destinations to fill berths for multiple stops. Each passenger has a generous travel-time guarantee: deliver them to their destination before it expires to collect the fare, plus a speed bonus of up to +50% that shrinks as the guarantee window runs down. Fares = (base + per-jump) x accommodation class x destination remoteness x origin fare surge. Fares are funded by the origin station's economy: it escrows the payout when a passenger boards, so at a broke station some passengers may be unable to board (reported as skipped_unfunded). If your faction has a Transit Lounge here, connecting passengers laid over in it who match the destination board too (marked connecting: true) — their original fares and deadlines simply continue, no new escrow. Call multiple times before undocking to build a route.)
