    • /GIVEPERM - Give a player permissions for these commands.
    • /REVOKEPERM - Remove a player's permissions for these commands.
    • /KICK - Removes a player from a game.
    • /BAN - Bans a player. Does not also /KICK, you must use /KICKBAN for that.
    • /KICKBAN - Removes a player from a game, and also bans that player.
    • /ANNOY - Force a player into observer mode. Also applies /BLOCKCHAT.
    • /BLOCKCHAT - Stops a player from sending or receiving chat messages.
    • /UNBAN - Unbans a player from the server.
    • /UNANNOY - Prevents a player from being annoyed in future games.
    • /UNBLOCKCHAT - Allows a player to send or receive chat messages.
    • /END - Forces a match in progress to end.
    • /START - Forces a match in the lobby to start, even if everyone hasn't readied up.
  • Commands anyone can do.
    • /STATUS - Shows who the creator is, whether you are authorized, and how many bans, annoys, chat blocks, authorized players, and trusted players there are currently on the server.
    • /SAY - Sends your message to unblocked players.
    • /TEST - Tests player name selection.

    • -chatCommandPassword - Sets the password users must use to /AUTH.
    • -disableChatCommands - Never allow ANY chat commands on this server.

• Sniper packets will no longer burst from pilots with bad connections or malintent.
• Corpses now have proper hit detection. Previously, a ship's hit box for weapons detection would desync with the ship's visible model upon death, and the hit box would not move after dying even though the physical model.
