                               Command : BLAST

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: blast ['plane' <plane>]|[<ships> [amt] [comm]]

With the `blast' command, you can order your  military  to  destroy  aircraft,
satellites,  or unwanted commodities aboard ships and other vehicles.  As with
the `shoot' command, blast requires military and mobility, and  that  you  own
the ship, vehicle, or aircraft being blasted.

   [##:##] Command: blast 15/17/281 10 p

You can use `blast' to liquidate entire planes, ships, and vehicles.   `Blast'
differs  from  `scrap'  in that military is required, it can be done anywhere,
and you get nothing back in exchange.  `Blast' is also how you detonate satel-
lites  that are armed with explosives.  To destroy an entire vehicle or plane,
simply omit the commodity type and amount.

To destroy an aircraft or satellite:
   [##:##] Command: blast plane 27

                               Command : BLAST

To destroy a ship:
   [##:##] Command: blast 27
   [##:##] Command: blast 27 !

(The exclamation point in place of a commodity amount indicates that you  want
to skip the confirmation prompt.)
