                                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.
