Prototype: Entity
Subtypes: Station, Player

The Ship class is an Entity representing a ship, station, missile, cargo pod or other flying item – anything that can be specified in shipdata.plist. A Ship has all the properties and methods of a Entity, and several others.

Stations and the Player are types of ship. Note that these more specific types have additional properties and methods.

AIState

AIState [read-write string, read-only for player]

The ship’s AI’s current state. (See also: AI, reactToAIMessage(), hasSuspendedAI)
