                                Command : SAIL

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: sail <SHIP/FLEET> [<PATH>|q[uery]|-]

You  use  the  sail  command to give a sailing path to ships.  At each update,
ships with a sailing path autonavigate along the path that was set  for  them.
Telegrams  notify  you of arrivals or problems encountered while attempting to
follow the path.

Radar operates continuously as the  ship  moves  along  the  path,  constantly
adding sector information to the known world map.

Ship  movement  is  performed before mobility is increased.  This insures that
after the update, ships with a sailing path will still have some  mobility  so
that you can always manually navigate to some extent.
