Each week, I start a thread for you to share game tips with fellow players. Have a little known command you use all the time, a cool place to visit, a trick (non-exploit) to getting more out of the game? Share it here. To get things started:

While waiting for a shuttle you can use the ingame alarm feature (Control-O then choose alarm) to set a reminder for when it is going to take off. Then you can freely shop, or chat without having to worry about missing the next one. (You can just type "/alarmaddin " for a timer alarm or "/alarmaddat " for a specific time, like 2:30pm.)
