                             Command : COASTWATCH

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: coastwatch [<SECTS>]

The coastwatch command allows coastal sectors to report sightings of ships.

In good weather the visibility range is equal to four times the  sector  effi-
ciency  expressed  as a decimal times the technology factor; e.g. a 100% effi-
cient harbor with a 50% technology factor can see 2 sectors away.   An  excep-
tion is radar installations which have a maximum range equal to fourteen times
the sector efficiency, (i.e. 3.5 times as far).

A typical usage might be:
   [##:##] Command: coast #3 ?type=)

     3,-11 efficiency 100%, range 5.6
   Pandora (#5) oil derrick #74 @3, -9
