.new_range SKIP 1 \ Our current ship's hyperspace range (i.e. the size of \ the fuel tank) \ \ The range is stored as the number of light years \ multiplied by 10, so a value of 1 represents 0.1 light \ years, while 70 represents 7.0 light years \ \ When we buy a new ship, this is set to the relevant \ value from the ship's flight characteristics table \ at new_details \ \ [Show more]
\ \ This variable is used by the following: \ \ * ESCAPE \ * Main flight loop (Part 15 of 16) \ \ This list only includes code that refers to the \ variable by name; there may be other references to \ this memory location that don't use this label, and \ these will not be mentioned above
.new_costs SKIP 1 \ The price table offset for our current ship \ \ In Elite-A the PRXS table (which contains equipment \ prices) has multiple sections, for the different types \ of ship we can buy, and the offset into this table for \ our current ship is held here \ \ When we buy a new ship, this is set to the relevant \ value from the ship's flight characteristics table \ at new_details .new_max SKIP 1 \ Our current ship's maximum pitch/roll rate \ \ When we buy a new ship, this is set to the relevant \ value from the ship's flight characteristics table \ at new_details \ \ [Show more]
\ \ This variable is used by the following: \ \ * Main flight loop (Part 2 of 16) \ \ This list only includes code that refers to the \ variable by name; there may be other references to \ this memory location that don't use this label, and \ these will not be mentioned above
.new_min SKIP 1 \ Our current ship's minimum pitch/roll rate \ \ This is always equal to 255 - new_max, so when we buy \ a new ship, the correct value is calculated rather \ than being fetched from the new_details table (there \ are default values for this in the new_details table, \ though these are commented out) \ \ [Show more]

.new_space SKIP 1 \ This byte appears to be unused \ \ It does have a label in the original source, and there \ are default values for it in the new_details table, \ though these are commented out \ --- End of added code -------------------------------> PRINT "UP workspace from ", ~UP, "to ", ~P%-1, "inclusive"
