Status: BAY

       Name: BAY                                                     [Show more]
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Status
    Summary: Go to the docking bay (i.e. show the Status Mode screen)
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: This subroutine is called as follows:
             * BRIEF2 calls BAY
             * BRP calls BAY
             * DOENTRY calls BAY
             * TBRIEF calls BAY


 We end up here after the start-up process (load commander etc.), as well as
 after a successful save, an escape pod launch, a successful docking, the end
 of a cargo sell, and various errors (such as not having enough cash, entering
 too many items when buying, trying to fit an item to your ship when you
 already have it, running out of cargo space, and so on).
