<B> Transporter Control

Here is where you go to beam you and your ship to another sector.  The transporter range is limited, but with enough credits, you can also use this option to upgrade it's range.

Use this function to use all your Crai's power just as you would by choosing <C> from the Main Menu.

This will show you the guest register of the other players who are parked in the Citadel.  The register gives you the name of the player, their ship type and how many fighters, shields and holds they have.  This information could prove very useful if you have just captured the planet from one of your opponents.

If the other players parked in the Citadel have specified their vehicle as available for trade, then you have the option of exchanging your ship for theirs.  Be sure to coordinate this carefully with the other members of your corporation.  Only C.E.O.'s can use Corporate Flagships so they are not available for trade.  If you have seized this planet from an opponent still parked in the Citadel, you may want to commandeer his ship for your own use.

If you have your level 5 Citadel completed, you can use this option to store your shields.  You transfer your Ship's shields to the Planetary Shielding System using this option (10 ship shields = 1 planetary shield).  Stored shields will be used in the defense of your planet.  The Planetary Shielding System will protect your planet from your enemies.  You will thwart your rivals' attempts to incapacitate your defenses with Photon Missiles.  Your opponents will be unable to scan your planet.

This selection will enable you to see all of your current statistics.  The information will display same as it does when you choose option <I> from the Main Menu.

Use this option to set both the Atmospheric and Sector reaction levels.  The Quasar Cannon in your Level Three Citadel uses massive amounts of Fuel Ore.  Use this option to adjust the percentage of Ore on the planet used in this weapon's capability.  PLEASE NOTE: The Quasar Cannon will use the entered percentage of Fuel Ore remaining on the planet for EACH SHOT it fires.  If you set the Sector value to 100% and a Scout Marauder with 5 fighters wanders into your sector, the Cannon will use all the Fuel Ore on your planet to blow the intruder into space dust.  If another player later tramps into your sector in a well-armed BattleShip your Cannon will sit idle due to lack of ammunition.  Another consideration when setting your percentages is that the accuracy of the Cannon is much better and the damage caused by the blast is greater when the target is in the planet's atmosphere.

Another method of customizing your protection, this will let you set the percentage of fighters stationed there to be used as offensive or defensive in case of an attack on the planet.  You must have a Combat Control Computer (Level Two Citadel or higher) to use this option.  The value you enter will be the percentage of fighters that will attack offensively as someone attempts to land on your planet.  The balance of your fighters will fall back for defense of the planet and Citadel.

If you have upgraded your citadel to level 6, this will allow you to control the Interdictor generator on the planet.    You will want to use this in conjunction with a Quasar Cannon.  If the generator is on, an enemy ship cannot leave the sector.  This generator consumes a lot of fuel ore when used.  Make sure your Q-cannon is set most carefully.  Otherwise, the enemy can try to escape and deplete all the fuel ore on your planet.

The instructions for this feature are in your Level Four Citadel.  Provided you have enough Fuel Ore to power the mammoth engine, you can move your planet to any sector where you currently have fighters stationed.

You can sleep feeling safe and secure if you bed down inside the Citadel, out of the rat race.  You will have the protection of your planetary forces to guard you.  When you leave your ship, the valet will ask if you want others who enter the Citadel to have the privilege of exchanging ships with you.  It's perfectly within your rights to keep your ship for personal use only.

This option will let you see everything in the sector around this planet.  The display will be the same as you get from option <D> in the Main Menu.

If you don't like to carry a lot of credits on you when you're out exploring the universe, you can deposit your excess in the Citadel.  You can withdraw the credits whenever you need them.  Be advised that the Treasury workers are quite lax in their security measures and anyone who enters the Citadel can withdraw any and all of the credits.

Once your Citadel construction is complete, you may find you wish to upgrade.  Very few people are content with a Level One Citadel.  You will need more colonists and materials for each level of improvements.  Level Two has a Combat Control System which enables you to set the fighters deployed on the planet as offensive or defensive.  Level Three contains a Quasar Cannon which is a very powerful weapon, but uses a considerable amount of Fuel Ore to operate.  Level Four encloses the massive engine used for the TransWarp Drive.  Level Five provides the power for the Planetary Shielding System.  The PSS will provide a sturdy shield for your planet which your enemies will have a hard time penetrating with fighters or photon missiles.  Level 6 equips the planet with an Interdictor Generator.  If turned on, this generator will make it impossible for your enemy to escape from your Quasar Cannon.

Now that you've survived all the defenses your opponent placed to keep you out, you should be able to come in and take over, right?  Occasionally you go into a newly captured Citadel only to find the trader (or traders) who previously controlled the planet. No need to have them in your way.  Simply select this option to activate the Emergency Warning System in the Citadel.  It will alert these unwanted guests to some impending doom and their ships will blast off into orbit around the planet.  The system will list the traders as they escape.  You then may either stay in the Citadel out of harm's way or you can go out into the sector to inflict more damage on your enemy.

This option is the same as option <T> from the Main Menu.
