                               Command : FOLLOW

NAME
   follow - Cause one ship to automatically follow another

Level: Expert

SYNTAX
   [##:##]% follow <SHIP/FLEET>

You use the follow command to get a ship to  use  the  same  sailing  path  as
another  ship.   At  each update, ships with a sailing path autonavigate along
the path that was set for them, and ships that are set  to  follow  that  ship
will  also be navigated along the same path.  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.

You may follow any ship which is owned by you or a friendly country.
