> scan
Syntax:
scan scan [target] scan radius [number]
Ship pilots may use this command to see nearby objects in space.
The distance field of the scan is colored according to how close you are to that object (red is closer, green is farther).
The vector field of the scan is colored according to whether your current vector is moving your towards or away from that object (red means you are approaching it, blue means you are moving away from it - sorry, astrophysicists).
The color scale used is the same scale used for damage and prompt hp, though for the vector colors we don't use the green section of the scale.
