<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Galactic Empire Control Panel''' ('''GECP''') is a graphical player frontend by Dave Walton for ''classic Galactic Empire''. It provides a visual interface for navigation, combat, and mapping rather than replacing the game server.<br />
<br />
'''Compatibility:''' GECP works with classic GE, not ge-next or ge-arena. Its classic protocol assumptions should not be taken as support for the later games.<br />
<br />
== Versions and features ==<br />
The [https://www.digger.net/projects/gecp/ project page] describes a Java-based version 2, intended to run wherever Java 8 is available, and an earlier DOS version that can also be run under DOSBox. The frontend offers a map, hotkeys and macros, and controls for common ship actions such as navigation and combat. Consult the project page for downloads and installation instructions.<br />
<br />
GECP is a client-side aid that uses classic GE's [[Data command|DATA interface]] to obtain machine-readable ship and scan information; the BBS still runs the game. The original [[GETERM.DOC]] documents that interface for terminal-program authors. For a ge-next frontend, see [[GE3D]] and the redesigned [[Data command|DATA protocol]].<br />
