Flying the Ship

Pilot Console

The left lever on the center console controls backwards thrust (braking) and the right lever controls forward thrust.

Interface Function
ForwardThrust Current forward thrust, maximum of 10,000 units
Cruise Activates cruise control, forward thrust will not reset to zero unless turned down.
Aim Reduces the response time of key presses for pitch and yaw.
Turtle Activates turtle mode which sets forward thrust to a maximum limit of TurtleRate of full thrust.
Sloth (Right Console) 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.
Transponder Toggle & Ping Transponder controls, Toggle turns on and off ship transponder while Ping will activate transponder for three seconds

Managing Power

Pilot Right Console

Interface Function
Battery Shows current battery charge of the batteries, maximum of 10,000 units.
Generator Current generator rate, maximum of 100%.
HeatTransferRate Current heat transfer rate of the heat sinks, maximum of 100%.
MinEPS & Min_Gen Toggle and sets minimum generator rate. See Managing Power.
Fuel1 & Fuel2 Fuel remaining on fuel rods in individual fuel chambers, maximum of 300,000 units for each.
Shutdown Turns off fuel chambers.
Propellant Total propellant remaining in propellant tanks, maximum of 12,000,000 units.

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 MinEPS value using the switch for the minimum rate and turning on Min_Gen.

Shutdown will turn off the fuel chambers.
