Does anyone know exactly what the "Remove Derelict Ships" command, in the sysop editor, does? Does it clear ALL unoccupied ships, or only "Rogue" ships that have been left by Corporations and individual players that have dropped out of the game?

I does the latter : "Rogue" ships that have been left by Corporations and individual players that have dropped out of the game.

I disagree Vid Kid. In my experience on the SWATH TWGS test server I hit that and all my personal ships that I had in my home sectors were gone...vanished...I think it deletes all unoccupied ships in the game.

I should do that eventually =D Might clear up some of my players and the 20+ ships they keep in their sectors....that 20 per player.

When I did it in a Gold game, it wiped out all unoccupied ships.

The definitive answer :

It deletes *ALL* ships in the game not occupied by either players or aliens. Regardless of ownership, figs on it, etc. Use that option and POOF. I have done this on my own server several times to verify it.
