Summary
The Command Center is a 3x2 Support room unlocked at level four. It plays a pivotal role in the game as it allows the player to program AI into their rooms and Crew. This opens up a massive amount of strategies in Pixel Starships, both for defense and offense. It's also the first step in the game towards a competitive ship.
Mechanics
To begin programming AI, the game requires the Command Center to be onboard the player's ship. Without it, the edit AI button will not appear. However, the Command Center does not need to be onboard for AI to run. It's strongly recommended to remove the Command Center once the player is done coding AI.
The number of lines an AI script can have is limited. Leveling up the Command Center increases that limit, up to a maximum of 30 lines. In the unlikely case where one would need more than 30 lines, the limit can be increased to 55 by buying the Computer Room when it comes up as a Special Offer. Utilizing the Computer Room's boost of +25 lines might also be considered a strategic option if one wanted to remain at a lower ship level for a prolongued time and the line limit of the Command Center at that ship level is not sufficient.
Programmable AI
The Command Center itself does not determine programmable AI; that job belongs to Python. However, since they're both commonly viewed as the same, we'll include an AI list anyways. The below icons show where certain AI commands can be coded.
