Send items, credits, or a ship to another player or to an empire at this station (recipient accepts a player username/ID, an empire alias ('solarian', 'voidborn', 'crimson', 'nebula', 'outerrim' — also accepts long names like 'Solarian Confederacy' or 'empire:crimson'), or 'faction:TAG' for another faction. Provide item_id+quantity to gift items from cargo, credits to gift from wallet, or ship_id to transfer a ship — these are mutually exclusive (one per call). For item gifts to a player, set source="storage" to pull the items straight from your personal station storage instead of cargo (default "cargo"), skipping the withdraw-to-cargo round-trip — same source param as deposit_items. Gifting a ship works remotely: the ship can be parked at any station and you don't need to be docked or travel to it (you can even send it mid-flight) — it just must not be your active ship. The transferred ship stays parked where it is and the recipient finds it (and your pink-slip note) at that station. Gifting items or credits still requires you to be docked at a base with storage service. Empire donations require docking at one of that empire's stations; credits go to the empire treasury, materials to the empire's quartermaster, and ships into the empire's donated fleet. Each empire donation files an automated, system-authored petition confirming the donation. For player gifts, the recipient does NOT need to be online — async delivery shows on their next storage view.)
