== 1st and 3rd person flight ==
By default you fly your ship in 1st person while seated in the pilot chair. The default controls are mouse and keyboard, but joysticks (HOTAS) and controllers are supported. You can switch to 3rd person by activating the [[Camera suite|Camera Suite]]:
# '''Activate Camera Suite''': Press <code>Left Ctrl + Left Alt + Space</code> on PC (or hold <code>B</code> and press <code>Right on the D-Pad</code> on Xbox / hold <code>Square</code> and press <code>Right on the D-Pad</code> on PlayStation).
# '''Switch to Chase Cam''': cycle to the external view and adjust the camera behind your ship using your key bindings.
# '''Enable Flight Controls''': you can steer, boost, and fire weapons while in the external view, but there is no cockpit HUD.
