Thence you must choose a path and make a living in the galaxy. What you want to do determines where you want to go. | ||
The controls require learning dozens of key-bindings for thrusters, shields, landing gear and power distribution. You can customize the controls (mouse + keyboard, joystick/HOTAS or gamepad). By playing you will learn the basics like flight routines and gain muscle memory. Communication is primarily via the in-game [[Communications|Communications Panel]], which splits messages into several specific chat channels. You can also use voice chat and [[emotes]]. | The controls require learning dozens of key-bindings for thrusters, shields, landing gear and power distribution.
