ships help: heat shields

What are heat shields?
When an object goes through a planets atmosphere, the gas and heat that make it up cause damage to the object.
Starships are no exception to this rule.
When a starship goes through an atmosphere it can, and does, take damage.
That is why the SDF worked with stargate productions to invent heat shields.
Before you launch or land from a planet, heat shields are essential.
Commands:
heat-s : toggle heat shield settings. Heat shields take from your ships charge, so be careful!
When taking off from a planet, the heat shields need to be 100 times the atmosphere class of the planet. So if the atmmosphere class is 6, you need at least 600.
An atmosphere class can either be found by:
1. Scanning a planet if in space
2. Typing atmosphere while landed.
When landing, the heat shields only has to be at the same shield number as for launching
Please note, Three new aliases have been added. They are:
hson, to be immediately followed by a space and a number.
hsb, which works the same, but is for boosting your heat shields.
Hst, for checking the status of your heat shields.
Example hson 3000 - sets your heat shields to 3000 units
hsb 2000 - Will boost your heat shields by 2000 units, leaving you with a total of 5000 units.
While boosting your shields takes charge, once they are on, it takes no aditional charge to maintain them at their current level. They will deactivate when you land, however.
