       Name: msblob                                                  [Show more]
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Dashboard
    Summary: Display the dashboard's missile indicators in green
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: This subroutine is called as follows:
             * BR1 (Part 2 of 2) calls msblob
             * EQSHP calls msblob
             * n_buyship calls msblob


 Display the dashboard's missile indicators, with all the missiles reset to
 green/cyan (i.e. not armed or locked).


 Returns:

   X                    X is set to &FF

   Y                    Y is set to 0
