                               Command : ALTER

 SYNTAX:
   [mc ##] Command : alter <SPACECRAFT> <x,y>

The alter command changes the orbit of a given spacecraft.   You  specify  the
spacecraft  to  be affected, and the number of sectors by which the orbit will
be changed.

Unlike most other Empire commands, the x,y argument is added  to  the  current
location  of each spacecraft specified on the command line.  If the spacecraft
have sufficient fuel, they will have their orbits altered by the specified x,y
values.

It is possible that altering the orbit of a spacecraft will injure  the  craft
due  to the inherent fragility of spacecraft in general.  Manned spacecraft do
not suffer from this problem.
