We've noticed a few users are having problem receiving emails from TXU. If you have a Gmail, Hotmail, Live, Yahoo, AOL or other similar online webmail, check that your junk mail filter isn't reading TXU as Junk Mail.

At the moment, some of the above email addresses are also bouncing our activation emails, particularly Hotmail. We are working a way to remedy this problem, but would suggest using regular email addresses and not webmail for the time being.

@ [RetVar/IF][RefObj] escort ship [Var/Ship]: timeout =[Var/Number] ms

Previous: @ [RetVar/IF][RefObj] escort ship [Var/Ship]

Next: [RefObj] set formation [Var/Number]

This page is a chapter in the book Fly Commands.

@ [skip|else] if [not]|while [not]| [RetVar/IF] = [Var/Ship] escort ship [Var/Ship] : timeout= [Var/Number] ms

Similar to escort ship, except this instruction will time out after a [Var/Number] milliseconds.

Returns FLRET_BREAK if [Var/Ship] is invalid or if the escorted ship is destroyed or moves out of sector, FLRET_TIMEOUT if the timeout period elapses, FLRET_INTERRUPTED if the script executing this instruction is interrupted, or FLRET_INVALIDPARMS if [RefObj] is invalid.
