Prototype: Ship

The Player class is an Entity representing the player, and the player’s ship – the two are inseperable. The Player has all the properties and methods of a Ship, and several others. There is always exactly one Player object in existence, which can be accessed through the player global property.

Properties

name [read-only string]

The name of the player’s character (e.g., “Jameson”).

score

score [read-write integer]

The player’s score; nominally the number of kills the player has made, although some missions award additional points.

credits

credits [read-write integer]

The amount of money the player has.

fuelLeakRate

fuelLeakRate [read-write double]

The rate at which the player is losing fuel, in tenths of a LY per second. May not be negative. Reset to 0 when fuel is empty.

Returns the current alert condition. 0 = Docked, 1 = Green, 2 = Yellow, 3 = Red.
