[BBC Master version]

Name: KS1 [Show more] Type: Subroutine Category: Universe Summary: Remove the current ship from our local bubble of universe
Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code References: This subroutine is called as follows: * Main flight loop (Part 12 of 16) calls KS1
