Ship Speed Settings

[Nerge]

Hey all,

 

I don't think these are features yet but please correct me if I've missed them.

 

It would be handy (literally) if we could set bindable keys for the following:

 

• Maintain speed - if you're only cruising it will maintain that speed until you hit the key again or manually adjust forward/rear thrust. The same goes for if you were using your afterburner at the time, it maintains that, at least until your power runs out.
   
  This will save our poor fingers when on those longer trips and when you want to concentrate on aiming with your turrets (using ctrl) while a steady speed is maintained - related to second point below.
  

 

• Set ship speed - similar to what you can do in Eve where you can set your ship's speed to set amounts, such as in 10%-25% intervals, which could be bound to what keys you wish (number keys?)
   
  I think this would be useful in a number of situations - strafing runs, circling a target, close maneuvering such as when docking etc.

F2 or 'Keyboard' Controls allow this function.

My 'W' key finger thanks you - I'll have to look for this later.

Okay so I took a look at what F2 does (toggles between control schemes, keyboard etc.) but couldn't see an option to maintain current speed; perhaps I've just missed it but what's that bound to by default?

You can hit `V` key to zero current thrust (it can also go from 0 to max or -max).
