THE JUMPGATE DEFINITIVE GUIDE - Tripod

the right of the station commlink access tab. a green light indicates
that a pilot is currently connected to the jumpgate universe. A red light
will be displayed if the pilot is either offline or in sim mode.
Command Module
This portion of the JOSSH device interface allows pilots to issue
commands to the station's personnel. This module spans the bottom
of the internal JOSSH device.
Along the top of the command module are five tabs: ship configurator,
market, mission, trade and simulator. (Trade and simulator are
displayed.) When clicked these tabs will bring up five different
holographic screens that allow pilots to customize their ship, purchase
goods, accept missions, trade with other pilots, and access the
simulator.
In this picture a red flag labeled 'sim mode active' is displayed to the
right of the tabs. This flag indicates whether a pilot is launching into
the simulator or real space.
There is a large green text box below the command tabs. This is the
pilot data bar, and displays various statistics on the current user.
These statistics are rank and name, credits, experience, and cargo.
(Cargo is displayed.) The most confusing statistics are the three
numbers displayed as cargo. The first number is the amount of cargo
that is currently loaded, the second is the maximum cargo that can be
loaded, and the third is the amount of floor space that the docking
crew will allow to be used. (This third number includes the ship's
cargo.) Floor space can be used as temporary storage space, but will
need to be cleared before a pilot can launch.
To the right of the pilot data bar is the 'request launch' button. By
clicking this button a pilot will be propelled away from the safety of the
station and into space. This button will occasionally be covered while
tasks are being preformed, and a pilot will not be able to launch during
that time.
