Friendly codes
All friendly codes are case-sensitive: "NAL" for example is not the same as
"nal". Unless stated otherwise, friendly codes work for shareware players as
well as registered players. Friendly codes containing ASCII codes that cannot be
typed in directly from the keyboard (characters like ë, , æ and such) are not
allowed. Friendly codes containing one ore more of such characters will be reset
to ‘AAA’.
Descriptions of what the friendly codes do are very brief. Various hyperlinks
point to the proper part of the VGA Planets
Helppages as can be found on my site. I suggest you check them for full
details.

Alliance codes |
| ff* |

this code is to be replaced with 1..9,a or b. Setting a code of ‘eeb’ for
example drops an alliance with the Colonies. |
(Web) Minelaying codes (work only in conjunction with the ‘lay mines’
or 'lay webmines' mission) |
| mdN |
This code causes a ship to convert N times 10 torpedoes to (web) mines. The N in this code can be any number
from a number from 1 to 9. When set to md0 the ship will convert 100

will lay Rebel mines (Registered only) |
Glory device friendly codes |

causes the ship to blow up; the ship will explode if it has fuel. The ship
will explode after all movement has been
processed by the Host program. |
| trg |
This code causes a ship with a Glory Device to
explode when a cloaked enemy ship is at the same
location as this ship after movement and the ship
with the Glory Device has fuel. |
Miscellaneous friendly codes |
| msc |
