From Cowboy Bebop: Space Cowboy

Interplanetary Travel

Space, the final frontier? Maybe not the final one, but much of it has proven in the Cowboy Bebop universe to be a frontier of some kind. In CB:SC, much Sol solar system has been colonized and teraformed for human use. These different colonized are traveled between through the system of hyperspace gates, a system of hyperspace passages that can be open and close to speed travel between distant places.

In order to travel through these hyperspace gates, one must approach the gate, through the use of the "course" and "speed" commands, and then calculate target coordinates. With these coordinates calculated they then must speed up to a speed close to their maximum and use the "hyperspace" command.

Space Combat

Occasionally, in space, conflict emerges, leading to fights. When this happens, ships fire each other, often while still moving through space. To target another ship in order to fire them type "target (ship name)", and to fire at them type "first" "second" or "third" for one of the weapons your ship possesses, you can see a list of which weapon is which through the "info" command.

Common practices in space combat are boarding, through hacking open the bay of a ship possessing one, and landing in it, as well as re-launching, to replenish ammunition. Currently, the only way of replenishing ship hull is through the ship maintenance skill and the "repairship" command.

New Ship Weapons is a page that details the new weapons that are being added into the ship system and is a place to discuss stats and make suggestions to provide a more balanced experience.
