Galactic sector view

  • Arrows: Rotate
  • Page Up/Down: Scroll Z
  • W, A, S ,D: Move on the plane
  • R, F: Move up and down
  • C: Center to where I am
  • H: Center to selected system
  • Enter: Enable/Disable automatic system selection
  • Space: Set Hyperspace Target to Lock or Follow Selection

 

Orbital view

  • click / unclick (planet or ship) sets / unsets as navigation target, and to focus on it
  • Hold right mouse to rotate the view

In flight

  • F5: Turns off the autopilot, and changes between manual flight and set speed flight
  • F6: Undercarriage
  • F7: Hyperdrive
  • F8: Set lower thrust speed
  • F9: Toggle missile / scanner panel on / off
  • CTRL click on Autopilot icon: Cycle Heading control to forward, afterward and off (note: Ctrl+F5 doesn not work, must use mouse)
  • R: Toggle rotation damping
  • Tab: Cycle through full HUD/HUD without labels/No HUD and cockpit
  • `: Lua console
  • Clicking on an object (planet, star, station, ship), will select it as a target.
  • CTRL click on a object, will select it as a target and as reference body.

Views

  • KP 2: Rear Camera / Rotate External/Sidereal Down
  • KP 4: Left Camera / Rotate External/Sidereal Left
  • KP 6: Right Camera / Rotate External/Sidereal Right
  • KP 9: Top Camera

  • Q,E; I,O: Roll CCW/CW
  • J,L: Yaw left/right
  • I,K: Pitch down/up
  • X, P: Kill rotation
  • V: Toggle rotation damping

Holding the right mouse also rotates the ship.

Hold SHIFT + <key> to low power thrust and smooth turns.

"Set speed" control mode

Thrust and rotation are same as above

  • Enter, T: Set speed faster
  • Right Shift, G: Set speed slower

Engaging any of the translation thrusters will tempralily disengage Set Speed Mode, until the directional thrust is cut.

A useful tip when you need to approach ships, either in combat, or a SAR mission for example. Pressing ctrl+LMB on the tartget will set it as the reference frame. Then the Set Speed mode will work relative to the ship, which in practice acts like a match speed mode, if speed is set to 0.

Joystick Controls

Cheats and debug

  • CTRL-I: Debug informations (FPS and other statistics).
  • CTRL-F10: Object viewer. Shows the currently targeted object. It allows for editing the properties of target planet
  • CTRL-F12: Spawn a hostile ship
  • Console: ~ or ´ depending on keyboard. Some useful commands for debugging/testing code/contributions are given here, but remember, cheating is for weaklings. However, it is allowed to restore borked saves.
