_showScreen(obj)

Displays the passed GNN object immediately. Requires to be docked and !system.isInterstellarSpace. Callbacks are disabled. Use at startUpComplete or later.

shipdata.plist

GNN uses a script_info key in shipdata.plist to decide if the interface should be shown. Set 'GNN' to true for stations. By default only main stations and stations with hasNPCTraffic set will get an interface. Stations in interstellar space are excluded.

script_info = {GNN = true;};
