You can also say "satellite"/"satellites", though it needs a satellite. Not sure what it does though. Since I don't have a satellite.

[Tarran]

Double post (so sue me).

You can say "Launch". It gives you a y/n prompt, if you say yes, you will die.

Satellite does the same thing as scan.

There's a 'Smoke' command If I recall

It doesn't work for me.

[Tarran]

Apparently the pilot takes "Fired" as me asking to fire the ship's weapons, WRONG.

Fire/Fired/Shoot/Nuke
Help
Hello
Satellite/Satellites/Scan
Launch

That's ten. Let's hope the redundant ones don't count. Otherwise that's all the commands.

Even with all the tips I can't really get anywhere anymore without dying. Which is a shape since I was a huge fan early on :/ It seems to be falling into the old roguelike trap of confusing satisfying challenge with retarded and seemingly random failure, which is discouraging to most players.

Just be paranoid and cautious, you'll rarely die.

Tell that to my dozens of crews

Well, you're doing it wrong! You're supposed to have hundreds of dead crews!

 Will launch kill you if you are on the same tile as the ship? Seems like a good way of solving the dead pilot problem.

Yes, it will kill you.

Never bring your pilot with you. If you do you can't have him pick you up while your fatal miscalculation has doomed you to be unable to reach the ship in time by one tile.

I always leave my pilot and gunner on the ship.
My team is captain, science officer, medical and soldiers.
Though I wish we could leave captain on the ship maybe if we had a "cheater" mode that allowed us to select options like that...
Then I could have captain,pilot and gunner on the ship and if we had to, leave the away team to die on the planet.
Splitting them into squads could be a nice feature too.
Squad one goes in and kills stuff, secures area w/e.
squad two goes and collects the data from the area secured.

I usually "medically enhance" my Captain.  Afterall, I only lose when the Captain dies.  I can always find a new crew when I dock at the space station.

Honestly, I only dock when I need to hire a new pilot.
