List of commands

HUD Helmet

 Comments.

By default camera F1 is set. Camera F2 is chasing your own fighter only. Camera F3 shows one by one all the fighters. Camera F4 does the same but for heavy ships. Camera F5 keeps 2 fighters in sight: that one chosen by F3 and it's target. So first choose a fighter by F3 and then press F5. Camera F6 shows the scene from moving missile.

You can use both keyboard and joystick to control your fighter. A command to flight control system is the sum of keyboard and joystick-originated values. Exception is the throttle control: if you use keys (\,back,[,]) to set your speed, thrust on your joystick will not work until relatively large movement is made (20% from it's current position).

Launch of missile will not be allowed until you target a ship. Use R,T or Y keys to choose a target.

Docking with Outer Republic frigates only is allowed. To dock target frigate, then press D. If docking is possible, you'll be given a path. Special indication on your HUD will lead you.
