3.8 KiB
Usage
To enter the ship, there is a button on top the ship that will open Hatch.
Flying the Ship
The left lever on the center console controls backwards thrust (braking) and the right lever controls forward thrust.
| Interface | Function |
|---|---|
Speed |
Current speed in metres per second. |
ForwardThrust |
Current forward thrust, maximum of 10,000 units |
Plasma & Plasma Charge Level |
Activates the plasma thrusters and intitiate charging. Plasma thrusters has to be activated and charge level at 1.0 for it to fire. |
Cruise |
Activates cruise control, forward thrust will not reset to zero unless turned down. |
Turtle |
Activates turtle mode which sets forward thrust to a maximum limit of TurtleRate of full thrust. |
Sloth |
Activates the low sensitvity mode of pitch and yaw by limiting thrust. Use the Sensitivity switch to set the maximum thrust rate of sloth mode. |
Aim |
Reduces the response time of key presses for pitch and yaw. |
Range & Distance |
Activates forward rangefinders, with Distance showing distance to object detected by center rangefinder. |
Guide, FrontRight, FrontLeft, BackRight & BackLeft |
Guide activates rangefinders at each corner of the base of the ship. Each repsective corner shows distance to the ground. |
SafeZone |
Whether current location is in the safe zone. |
StrengthFactor |
Current strength of ship. May fluctuate as ore crates are filled. Anything below 1.0 means ship is damaged. |
Transponder Toggle & Ping |
Transponder controls, Toggle turns on and off ship transponder while Ping will activate transponder for three seconds |
NOTE: For safety, firing full braking thrust will deactivate Cruise.
Managing Power and Fuel
| Interface | Function |
|---|---|
Propellant |
Total propellant remaining in propellant tanks, maximum of 72,000,000 units. |
Fuel |
Fuel remaining on fuel tank, maximum of 10,000,000 units. |
Generator |
Current generator rate, maximum of Generator Limit. |
Min Gen & Min Generator Limit |
Toggle and sets minimum generator rate. See Managing Power. |
Shutdown |
Will turn off all fuel chambers thus shutting down generators. |
Battery |
Shows current battery charge of the batteries, maximum of 10,000 units. |
HeatTransferRate |
Current heat transfer rate of the heat sinks, maximum of 100%. |
Flow In & Flow Out |
Toggle flow modes of resource bridges. See Refueling Propellant. |
Managing Power
By default the generator will only run and ramp up when the batteries need charging so there is minimum management needed. But you can set a minimum generate rate by setting the Min Generator Limit value using the switch for the minimum rate and turning on Min Gen.
Refueling Propellant
All five resource bridges can be used for refuelling propellant. To refuel from another ship, turn off Flow Out on the pilot right side console and leave Flow In turned on. Then connect a resource bridge to the other ship. To refuel another ship, do the opposite, Flow Out turned on and Flow In turned off.
Remember to turn Flow In and Flow Out back on if you are using the Endo to collect ore via any of the ship's resource bridges.
The propellant tanks are also easily accessible for swapping or crafting refills.
