NAME
   follow - Cause one ship to automatically follow another

Level: Expert

SYNTAX
   [##:##] Command : follow <SHIP/FLEET>

You  use  the  "follow"  command to get a ship to use the same sailing path as
another ship.  At each update, ships with a sailing path "autonavigate"  along
the  path  that  was  set for them, and ships that are set to follow that ship
will also be navigated along the same path.  Telegrams notify you of  arrivals
or problems encountered while attempting to follow the path.

Radar  operates  continuously  as  the  ship  moves along the path, constantly
adding sector information to the known world map.

Ship movement is performed before mobility is increased.   This  insures  that
after  the  update, ships with a sailing path will still have some mobility so
that you can always manually navigate to some extent.

You may follow any ship which is owned by you or a friendly country.
