- * * * * * * * * SHORT RANGE SCAN (COMMAND 2) * * * * * * * * *
-
- The short range scan tells you about the quadrant you are presently
- occupying. X coordinates increase to the right (bearing: 0) and Y
- coordinates to the top (bearing: 90). Each object in the quadrant
- is abbreviated by a letter and may be followed by a number to
- distinguish it from other objects of the same type.
- Abbreviations are:
- E - ENTERPRISE
- G - GHOST
- K - KLINGON
- R - ROMULAN
- S - SHUTTLECRAFT
- T - TORPEDO
- * - STAR
- . - EMPTY SPACE
- - BLACK HOLE.
- When two or more objects occupy approximate positions, only one
- will be shown. Although all objects are displayed on integral
- coordinates, only a short range track (15) can tell you the exact
- position of moving objects. For most purposes, though, the
- difference will not be significant.
