Send the message "password new_password new_password" to
yourself while in the game, replacing "new_password" with
your desired new password.

That procedure is fine with me for base-practice; as long
as the person mailing me can convince me that they are the
actual character owner.

If the server is running the RSA key updater with the option
to update the MOTD it will present various stats in the server's
MOTD. warped has it enabled if you want to see the output
format.
There is also a 'scores' port (tcp/2590) that can be enabled
that is supposed to list names, hours, planets, bombing,
offense and defense stats for the entire player database.
No server I am aware of has this enabled at the moment.
Also, I just enabled it on my dev server and it appears not
to work any longer. I get this:
Name Hours Planets Bombing Offense Defense
Totals 0.00 10 10 10 10
Other then these 2 methods there is no way for a player to list
the player database that I am aware of.

I have been playing around with a simple stats program, but it's
very low on my priority list.
