Controversial

  • It has been argued that Shift-Space and Space should be switched. This would allow more control while boosting.
  • This keybinding uses WAXD to sidethrust in the four directions. The argument over whether to use WASD instead, or not, was a heated one.
  • Ctrl-C should switch probes/mines. However that is missing in the first version.

In the end, it is a personal preference. Customize the keys once you figure out what you like.
