Example command script (sequence)

  1. campaign.givePlayerCredits(5000000)
  2. campaign.givePlayerCargo("supplies", 2000)
  3. campaign.spawnShip("player", "eagle", "eagle_standard", 0, 0)
  4. campaign.addFleet("Encounter", "pirates", "raider", 1200, -300, false)
  5. debug.revealMap(100000)

Save this sequence in a text file and paste into console as needed.

Practical workflows

  1. Rapid combat iteration

    • Use spawnShip + testBattle + fleet.buffFleet to assemble scenarios.
    • Save variants of enemy compositions as scripts or macros to repeat tests.

  2. Economy & balance checks

    • Use givePlayerCredits, givePlayerCargo, and setPlayerReputation to simulate mid/late-game states.
    • Adjust timeScale to simulate years of income/expenses quickly.

  3. Mod development

    • Use sector.addMemory and debug.revealMap to trigger and inspect event-driven logic.
    • Use player.addOfficer and forceAICore to validate officer/AI-core integration.

  4. Bug reproduction

    • Recreate exact state by scripting sequences of console commands; store them in a text file to replay.
