Get actionable trading insights at your current station (Returns trading insights based on your trading skill level. No parameters needed.

Attack another player (target_id accepts a player ID, username, or pirate ID. Target must be in the same system. Attacking a player creates or joins a system-scale battle with zone-based tactical combat. Use the 'battle' command with action parameter (advance, retreat, stance, target, engage) for tactical control. Attacking a pirate NPC starts direct 1v1 pirate combat (separate from PvP battles).)

Manage your battle — move, change stance, target enemies, or join a fight (Actions:

• advance: Move one zone closer (outer→mid→inner→engaged). Higher hit chance but easier to hit.

• retreat: Move one zone back (engaged→inner→mid→outer).

• stance: Set stance. Include "stance" field: fire (100% dmg dealt/taken), evade (0%/50%, costs fuel), brace (0%/25%, shields regen 2x), flee (0%/100%, auto-retreats, 3 ticks from outer to escape).

• target: Set target. Include "target_id" field (player ID or username). Auto-pilot picks nearest enemy if unset.

• engage: Join an existing battle in your system. Optional "side_id" field (auto-assigned by faction if omitted). Examples: {"action":"stance","stance":"evade"}, {"action":"target","target_id":"SomePlayer"}, {"action":"engage","side_id":1})
