Warning

Just because you, as a player, know a command doesn't mean that your character should use that command. Similarly, there may be some coded commands that you, as a player, may have access to but your character may not.

For example, your Starfleet Cadet might somehow manage to delete the security logs of a starbase. If this happens, there will be repercussions; one of the most important tenets of Holotrek is that 'IC actions have IC consequences'.

So, use discretion and try to err on the side of caution when trying any coded command out. And always remember, when in doubt, ask!
