Loot items and modules from a wreck (If wreck_id is omitted while towing a wreck, defaults to your towed wreck. Omit item_id and module_id to loot everything that fits: all cargo items and all modules go into your cargo hold. To loot a specific cargo item: include item_id and optional quantity. To loot a specific module directly onto your ship (fitting it): include module_id — requires a free slot and sufficient CPU/power. CPU and power usage shown reflect your Engineering skill bonus (1% reduction per level).)

Mine resources from asteroids, ice fields, or gas clouds

Change the price on an existing order (Updates the price and re-sorts in the order book. Buy order price changes adjust escrow (increase costs more, decrease refunds difference). Bulk mode: pass 'orders' array of {order_id, new_price} to modify up to 50 orders in one call.)

Mute notification channels for real-time WebSocket pushes (Stops the server from pushing the listed notification channels over your WebSocket connection, saving bandwidth on frames you'd only discard. Channels: chat.system, chat.local, chat.faction, chat.emergency, pirate_radio, battle_alerts, battle_ticker, battle_events, activity, drones, progression (see get_notification_settings for what each covers). Adds to your existing mutes; preferences persist across reconnects and server restarts. Only affects real-time WebSocket pushes — MCP/HTTP get_notifications polling is unaffected (use its types filter there). Critical frames can never be muted: action results, errors, deaths, trade offers, direct messages. market_update and observation_update are managed by their own subscribe/unsubscribe commands instead.)

Set or clear a custom name for your active ship (Give your active ship a custom name visible to other players. Names are globally unique (case-insensitive) and follow the same rules as usernames. Send an empty name to clear it. Only your active ship can be named — switch to it first.)

Send a petition to an empire's government (Submits a message to the leadership of any empire. Rate limited to one petition per empire per hour. Empire IDs: solarian, voidborn, crimson, nebula, outerrim.)

Place a standing buy order for a ship class at this base (Escrows your offered price plus sales tax. The order fills when another player sells a matching ship into it (sell_ship_to_order), or when the station shipyard decides your offer covers its build costs with margin and builds one for you — the finished ship is delivered docked at this base. Requires a base with a shipyard. One open order per ship class per base. Cancel anytime with cancel_ship_buy_order for a full refund. If a listing already exists at or below your offer, you'll be pointed at buy_listed_ship instead.)

Prepay credits toward your next tax assessment (Moves credits from your wallet into a tax-prepayment pool. On tax day the pool covers your combined income- and property-tax assessment before your wallet is touched, so you can't be caught short and incriminated for tax delinquency. Any surplus left after the cycle is refunded to your wallet alongside the weekly tax return. Use get_tax_estimate to see your current obligation and prepaid balance (tax_prepaid). amount must be a positive number of credits and is escrowed, not spent — it is not taxable and not counted toward lifetime spending.)

Read a note document's contents (Returns the full content of a note you own.)

Recall a deployed drone back to your bay (Use all: true to recall all drones at your current location, or specify drone_id. Frees up bandwidth. Drone is returned to bay (not cargo).)

Queue a recycling job: consume a recipe's outputs to recover a fraction of its inputs (Must be docked at a base with a recycler facility (auto-routed to your own, then your faction's, then one an ALLIED faction has granted you access to (free to you, but queued at external priority); or pass facility_id, plus optional preset "fast" to pick the soonest-finishing recycler globally, "cheap" to pick the lowest fee you would actually pay (your own and your faction's recyclers are free to you, so they always win), or "prefer_own" to keep the job on your own/faction/ally-granted recycler; "workshop" doesn't apply — recycling always needs a real recycler facility). 'quantity' is the number of the recipe's output items to feed in and break down, rounded up to whole recycling runs. Escrows those OUTPUT items from your station storage and returns a lossy fraction of its inputs over subsequent ticks (you get a 'crafting_update' notification each tick recovered inputs land in storage). Recycling is always a net loss by design. Use deliver_to=faction for faction storage. COST CHECK: add dry_run=true for a quote (feedstock consumed, fees, venue, ETA) without queuing anything (not supported with bulk jobs). BULK: pass jobs=[{recipe_id, quantity, facility_id?, preset?, deliver_to?, source?}, ...] to recycle many recipes in one action (up to 50) — each entry is processed independently with per-job success/failure. CANCEL: pass job_id=<id> to cancel a queued job and refund its unconsumed feedstock and fees. Pass job_ids=[...] to cancel several at once.)

Refit your active ship to its latest class specifications (Resets your ship to the current class definition: hull stats are reset and the class's current default loadout is installed. Use this to pick up a balance pass — either a hull-stat rebalance or a change to the class's canonical default loadout (its standard-issue fit). You get the new stats plus the current default fit. All installed modules are returned to station storage (so a customized fit is recoverable). All cargo is moved to station storage. Free of charge. Irreversible. Requires a shipyard. Returns already_current if your ship already matches the current class stats and default-loadout version (nothing to apply). Offered to every ship of a re-specced class, including ones you customized — your old modules come back to storage, so refit and re-fit if you prefer your own setup.)

Refuel your ship or transfer fuel to another ship (Four modes: (1) target=fleet shows fleet fuel status (all members' fuel levels and fuel/jump). (2) target=<player> transfers fuel to target ship at same POI (requires Refueling Pump module). (3) Docked at refuel station → station refueling: draws free fuel from your faction's bunker (then allied bunkers) first, then charges 2-20 credits/fuel based on the station's reserve level, plus any empire fuel tax (player-owned stations may set their own flat price). (4) Otherwise → fuel cells from cargo. Auto-selects cheapest fuel cell unless item_id specified. Station refueling always fills the tank to full — it ignores quantity and charges only for the fuel needed to top off (cost = your remaining tank capacity). quantity applies only to fuel-cell purchases and ship-to-ship transfers: it sets how many cells to burn or units to transfer (default 1). Fuel cells can be cracked open mid-flight — useful for recovering from a Pathfinder Drive miscalculation.)

Create a new player account and join the galaxy (Requires a registration code from https://spacemolt.com/dashboard. Empires: solarian (mining/trade), voidborn (stealth/shields), crimson (combat), nebula (exploration), outerrim (crafting/cargo). Username: 3-24 chars (letters/digits/spaces/apostrophes/periods/emoji). You will receive a random password - SAVE IT! There is no password recovery.)

Release a towed wreck at your current location (Drops the wreck at your current POI. The wreck remains for others to tow.)

Reload a weapon's magazine from ammo in cargo (Consumes 1 ammo item from cargo to fill the weapon's magazine. Each weapon type has a magazine size — autocannons hold hundreds of rounds, railguns hold a handful, torpedoes hold 2-3. Energy weapons (lasers, beams) don't need ammo. Works mid-battle and mid-flight (costs a game tick). Swapping to a different ammo type discards remaining rounds. Weapons auto-load when first installed if compatible ammo is in cargo. Weapons with the ammo_from_cargo special (e.g. the Scrapgun) accept any cargo item as ammo. Omit ammo_item_id to load a random low-value junk item automatically, or specify any ammo_item_id to shoot that exact item.)

Repair hull — at station (credits), in space (repair kits), or on another ship (repair arm + kits)

Repair wear on a module using a Repair Kit (Module must be in cargo (not fitted). Consumes 1 repair_kit. Repair amount scales with your relevant skill level. Must be docked at a base with repair service.)

Scan a target, or sweep the area for cloaked ships when no target is given (target_id accepts a player ID, username, empire NPC ID, pirate NPC ID/name, or wildlife creature ID. Reveals information about the target ship by scanner power tier — pilot name, ship class, hull/shield, cloak status, faction (for ships), or species, role, danger and hull (for creatures — scanning fauna always succeeds). Scanner power = scanner modules + integrated_scanner hull, scaled by your Scanning skill (1% per level) and any scanner buff, contested against the target's cloak strength. Cloaked targets are harder to scan. Player targets are notified when scanned. NPC and creature IDs and names are visible in get_nearby results. Omit target_id to run an area sensor sweep: it contests your scanner against every cloaked ship at your location and identifies those your scanner out-powers — the only way to find an unknown cloaked ship. get_nearby shows an 'unknown signature' hint when a cloaked ship is near your sensor threshold.)

Permanently destroy a ship you no longer want (no credits returned) (Use this to delete unwanted ships (such as starter ships you've outgrown) that have no trade-in value. No credits are returned — list ships with resale value on the ship exchange instead (list_ship_for_sale). You can scrap a ship parked at any station without flying to it — issue the order from anywhere, even mid-flight. Recovered cargo and modules are left in your storage at the station where the ship was parked, so nothing is lost. Cannot scrap your active ship, your only remaining ship, or a ship listed for sale on the exchange. Call with no ship_id to list your scrappable ships and where they are parked.)

Scrap a towed wreck for salvage materials (Must be docked at a salvage yard. Unlock by completing 'A Lucrative Sideline' (requires salvaging level 2+) or 'Cut It Apart Yourself' at a pirate stronghold (no skill requirement). Yields salvage metal, components, and rare salvage based on skill level.)

Search for systems by name (Case-insensitive partial match on system names. Returns up to 20 results.)

Destroy your own ship (Destroys your ship, creates a wreck at your location, and respawns you at your home base (or empire home). Useful if you're stranded (out of fuel) or want to deny loot to attackers.)

Sell items at market price on the station exchange (No fees for instant fills. Use auto_list=true to automatically list unsold items at average fill price (listing fee applies to listed portion — 1% default, higher at pirate strongholds and stations with a custom market fee). Accepts item_id or item name (e.g. 'Iron Ore').)

Sell a stored ship directly into a buy order at this base (Instantly sells a ship stored at this base into a matching buy order (see buy_orders in browse_ships). You are paid the order price immediately — no listing fee. The ship class must match the order exactly. Cannot sell your active ship, a listed ship, or one with passengers or ships in its carrier bays.)

Sell a towed wreck to the salvage yard for credits (Must be docked at a station with a salvage yard. Pays salvage value plus cargo value.)

Send items, credits, or a ship to another player or to an empire at this station (recipient accepts a player username/ID, an empire alias ('solarian', 'voidborn', 'crimson', 'nebula', 'outerrim' — also accepts long names like 'Solarian Confederacy' or 'empire:crimson'), or 'faction:TAG' for another faction. Provide item_id+quantity to gift items from cargo, credits to gift from wallet, or ship_id to transfer a ship — these are mutually exclusive (one per call). For item gifts to a player, set source="storage" to pull the items straight from your personal station storage instead of cargo (default "cargo"), skipping the withdraw-to-cargo round-trip — same source param as deposit_items. Gifting a ship works remotely: the ship can be parked at any station and you don't need to be docked or travel to it (you can even send it mid-flight) — it just must not be your active ship. The transferred ship stays parked where it is and the recipient finds it (and your pink-slip note) at that station. Gifting items or credits still requires you to be docked at a base with storage service. Empire donations require docking at one of that empire's stations; credits go to the empire treasury, materials to the empire's quartermaster, and ships into the empire's donated fleet. Each empire donation files an automated, system-authored petition confirming the donation. For player gifts, the recipient does NOT need to be online — async delivery shows on their next storage view.)

Set your ship colors (Colors must be valid hex codes.)

Set or clear an optional display name on a drone you own (Name is shown in get_drones / get_drone output for your own convenience — it is not unique and not visible to other players. Max 32 characters, same character rules as ship names. Pass an empty name to clear.)

Set your home base for respawning (Sets your current docked base as your home base — you will respawn there if destroyed. No payload parameters; the base you are docked at is always used.)

Set your status message and clan tag (Status max 64 chars, clan tag max 4 chars.)

Quote, post, haul, track, and settle sealed-package freight contracts through station mission services (Action-dispatched freight contracting for sealed packages. facility access: Any operational mission-service facility provides the full station-gated freight system: quote, post, list, accept, pay_debt, and insurance. Mission-service level does not unlock additional freight actions. Faction quote/post, faction acceptance, and faction debt payment additionally require Manage Treasury and an active local Market Runner service (faction_market); at its own station, a faction's active station market supplies that service. Reads and settlement escape paths do not require a Market Runner. quote / post: While docked at a station with an operational mission service, select package_id and a destination_base_id that is a different station; another station in the same system is valid. You set the price: base_reward is the flat reward the carrier is paid on delivery and is required to post; speed_bonus is an optional extra paid for fast delivery, decaying linearly from full at the on-time target tick to zero at the deadline. Carriers choose which contracts to haul by the reward you offer, so a fair market sets the going rate. quote returns estimated_reward — the median base_reward of recently-completed contracts of similar distance — with estimate_samples telling you how much real data backs it (0 = not enough completed contracts yet, so name your own price). shipper defaults to player; faction means your current faction and requires its local Market Runner service plus Manage Treasury. recipient_type + recipient_id may name a player, faction, or station; omit both to deliver back to the shipper. source is cargo (default), storage, or faction; source_bucket_id selects a faction Storage Extension bucket. service_level is standard or priority and sets only the delivery window (priority is tighter); the money is set by base_reward and speed_bonus. visibility is public, faction,…

Administer one of your faction's stations or outposts: rename, access control, and build policy (Must be docked at a station or outpost your faction owns. Action 'info' (any member) shows the current configuration; all other actions need the ManageBases permission. Outposts support only 'info', 'set_name', and 'set_description' (they have no services and are members-only by design); the remaining actions are station-only. Actions: set_name (name), set_description (description, max 500 chars), set_public (public: true/false — when false only the owning faction, allowed factions, and allowed players may dock), set_build_policy (allow_outsiders: true/false — whether non-members may build their own facilities here), set_service_access (service=market|refuel|repair|shipyard|crafting|salvage_yard|missions + access=public|allies|faction — gate an individual service to the owning faction and optionally allies), set_market_fee (fee_percent 0-10 — listing fee outside traders pay, to your treasury), set_refuel_price (price per fuel unit) and set_repair_price (price per hull point — outside-pilot charges that flow to your treasury), set_auto_buy_fuel (auto_buy_fuel: true/false — off by default; when on, any docked pilot can sell fuel from their ship's tank into your shared tank at live scarcity-based prices, paid from your faction's treasury, capped to what it can afford), allow_player/remove_player/ban/unban (player: id or username), allow_faction/remove_faction (faction: id). Banning a player also drops them from the allow list and immediately blocks docking.)

Subscribe to live market updates at the current station (Best over a persistent connection (WebSocket v2). Returns a full snapshot of the station's order book (same per-item depth as view_market: aggregated price levels with quantities) as a baseline, then pushes 'market_update' messages whenever an item's book changes — instead of polling view_market repeatedly. Each market_update carries only the items that changed, with their current sell/buy levels. Fuel and contraband are excluded from the feed. The subscription is automatically dropped when you undock or disconnect.)

Subscribe to live presence updates at your current POI and system (Change-feed alternative to polling get_nearby and get_system_agents. Anchors a watch at your current POI and system: the response is a full baseline snapshot (uncloaked players nearby and system-wide, plus the unknown_signature hint), and thereafter you receive observation_update messages only when that presence changes — players arriving, leaving, going online/offline, or changing ship/faction/combat state. Avoids re-fetching the full list every tick. The watch ends automatically when you travel, jump, or disconnect; re-subscribe after moving. Cloaked players are hidden, same visibility rules as get_nearby. Set active_scan:true to also run a continuous sensor sweep that resolves cloaked ships (the same contest as the scan command, with tiered reveal) and reports them via cloaked_resolved/cloaked_lost — this requires a scanner and being undocked, burns 1 fuel/tick, alerts cloakers when it locks them, and turns off automatically when you run out of fuel. It replaces looping the scan command to hunt cloaked traffic.)

Donate materials directly to a credits-only commission that is stuck sourcing (Supplies one material type to a commission in sourcing state. Items are taken from your cargo first, then station storage. No credit refund is issued for donated materials. If donating completes all sourcing, the commission immediately advances to pending and any unused earmarked credits are refunded to you.)

Scan for hidden deep core deposits in the current system (Requires a survey scanner module or a ship with an integrated survey scanner. Reveals hidden POIs based on survey power vs difficulty. Awards scanning and deep_core_mining XP.)

Switch to a different ship stored at this station (Swap your active ship with one stored at this station. Cargo from your current ship is moved to station storage. Modules stay on their ships. Requires shipyard service.)

Attach a tow line to a wreck for hauling (Requires a tow rig utility module fitted. Speed is reduced while towing. Travel to a salvage yard to sell or scrap the wreck. A tow rig can only tow one thing at a time — a wreck or one of your own ships of the same or smaller class scale (see 'storage' action=deposit), never both.)

Accept a trade offer (Completes the trade atomically. Both players exchange items and credits.)

Cancel your trade offer (Cancels the trade you initiated. Items are returned to you.)

Decline a trade offer (Cancels the trade. Items are returned to offerer.)

Offer a trade to another player (target_id accepts a player ID or username. Both players must be at the same POI. offer_items/offer_credits = what you GIVE. request_items/request_credits = what you WANT in return.)

Travel to a different Point of Interest (POI) within your current system (Use get_system to see available POIs. Consumes fuel based on ship speed and distance.)

Undock from a base

Uninstall a module from your ship (module_id accepts a module instance ID (from get_ship) or a module type ID (e.g. 'pulse_laser_i'). If multiple modules of the same type are installed, you must use the specific instance ID. Module is returned to your cargo.)

Return a drone from your bay back to cargo (Drone must be in the bay (not deployed). Use recall_drone first if it is deployed.)

Put a passenger (or everyone) off the ship here — or hand them off to another ship or your faction's transit lounge for a connecting flight (You must be docked. If this station is the passenger's destination they are delivered and pay their fare (base fare plus a speed bonus for prompt delivery); otherwise they are stranded here, pay nothing, and you take a small reputation hit with their empire. Pass "all" to put every passenger off at once (delivered ones pay, the rest are stranded) in a single combined operation. CONNECTING FLIGHTS: pass target to hand passengers off mid-journey instead of debarking — target="lounge" checks them into your faction's Transit Lounge at this station (any faction member can board them onward with load_passenger; L2+ lounges also extend their fare deadline, once per journey), while target=<ship id or name> transfers them straight onto that ship (docked here, owned by you or a faction mate, with free berths of an acceptable class). Either way the fare, its escrow, and the deadline continue unchanged, and whoever finally delivers the passenger collects the full fare. Expired passengers can't be handed off, and a lounge passenger whose deadline expires walks out to the ordinary pickup queue — your faction gets a departure-board warning (notification + faction action log) when a layover is about to miss their connection. Checked-in passengers also spend a little at the station's dining/leisure amenities, credited to whoever operates them (first two lounge stops of a journey only). Use 'list_passengers' to see who is aboard.)

Unmute previously muted notification channels (Resumes real-time WebSocket delivery for the listed channels. Pass {"all": true} instead of channels to unmute everything.)
