----- HOW TO USE -----

If at any time a command is not performing the way you want, you can stop the command with the phrase:
"['Cancel' or 'Stop'] Command(s)."

...

If you needed to make any changes at all to the system name for the Galmap search to work, please update dispatch at your earliest convenience. Say the phrase:
"Swap to Chat"
Then manually type the updated system information. Please remember to reference which case you are on.

...

You can also dictate your own message to send to dispatch. Please be careful to dictate slowly and clearly, without pausing.
"Dispatch be advised [{your custom message}]."
Will type "'Spatch, be advised [{your custom message}] #2" (whatever the actual case number or client name is)
"Rescue Message [{your custom message}]."
Will type "[{your custom message}] #2" (whatever the actual case number or client name is)

I have included basic macros for the standard debrief topics. Be sure you are ready to start typing in the chatbox before issuing these commands.
Please do not just use these without context. The Human element of the Fuel Rats must be preserved - type or talk to the client, and use these macros like slides in a slide-show.

"Debrief ['Failed' or 'Sucessful' or '(nothing)'] Rescue Greeting."
Says hello, in context, using the client's CMDR Name. (1 message)

"Debrief Fuel Scoop Description"
Explains what a fuel scoop is, how much it costs, and how to get a faster refuel speed. (4 messages)

"Debrief How To Fuel Scoop"
Explains how to scoop fuel from a star. (6 messages)

"Debrief Fuel Scoop Limitations"
Explains KGBFOAM and the two ways to remember the types. (3 messages)

"Debrief Route Options"
Explains the difference between Fastest and Economical routing. (4 messages)

"Debrief Solid/Dotted Lines"
Explains the difference between Solid and Dotted lines. (2 messages)

"Debrief Star Filters"
Explains how to set filters for star types in the Galmap. (4 messages)

"Debrief Station Filters"
Explains how to find nearby stations in the Galmap. (4 messages)

"Debrief Departure"
Says thanks and asks them to fly safely. (1 message) {also closes the active case}

"Thanks for calling the Fuel Rats"
Says thanks and asks them to fly safely. (1 message) {also closes the active case}

MULTI-CALL (Beta Feature)

I included some reiterations of most of the above commands as prefix/suffix options. This allows you to make two calls at once, meaning more fluid communication and less clutter in #fuelrats.
Below are a few examples, nearly all of the above commands can be mixed and matched however you wish. Simply say "and" between your first and second call.
If you are having trouble with Voice Attack not recognizing your second call, say 'multi' at the beginning of the multicall.

"Friend Positive and Client in Solo" - sends 'fr+ Client in Solo #2'
"Multi Wing Positive and I am being Interdicted" - asks if the interdicter is a player or npc then sends 'wr+ and I am being interdicted by a player #2' (assuming you said 'player')

There are a few unusual interactions between certain pairs since I didn't check for context between the two calls. For example:
"Instance Positive and Fuel Positive" - will still ask for the distance to the client in kilometers.
"Multi Friend Positive and Client in Solo" - will still remind you to check the client's location.

...

"['Close' or 'Clear'] Case."
Will clear all data related to the previous case.Page ToDo: Add images and colors to liven the page up, spell check, and additional formatting
RatS ToDo: additional bug check/fix, clean up certain if blocks, add pulling case data from the drillbot, additional streamlining of certain functions
