Flight assist is a ''flight control computer'' that keeps the ship within flight parameters. It enables you to maintain absolute control of the velocity and trajectory of the ship as it turns, and dampens the angular momentum when rolling, pitching, and yawing, by automatically calculating the thruster forces needed to control the ship and make it stable. Flight assist basically allows you to control a vessel in space like it was a submarine in water, or a helicopter in the air. It gives you absolute control of inertial thrust without requiring any counter-thrust correction. Flight assist is always '''ON''' by default, though you do have the option to turn it '''OFF'''. | Flight assist is a ''flight control computer'' that keeps the ship within flight parameters.
