Usage

To enter the ship, there are buttons on top of the ship that will open Hatch.

Flying the Ship

Pilot Center Console

Interface Function
Speed Current speed in metres per second.
ForwardThrust Current forward thrust, maximum of 10,000 units
Cruise Activates cruise control, forward thrust will not reset to zero unless turned down.
Turtle Activates turtle mode which sets forward thrust to a maximum limit of TurtleRate of full thrust.
Sloth Activates the low sensitvity mode of pitch and yaw by limiting thrust. Use the Sensitivity switch to set the maximum thrust rate of sloth mode.
Aim Reduces the response time of key presses for pitch and yaw.
Guides Activates rangefinders (except center one which can be activated separately). Can be used as guide lasers. Red warning lights show location of obstacles (left, right and centre).
Nav, Autopilot, Avoidance & Target Autopilot controls. See Autopilot and Crash Avoidance.
ISAN2 Current ISAN coordinates of ship.
NavGrid, NavP, NavC & Attitude NavGrid system, see Using the Waypoint System.
SafeZone Whether current location is in the safe zone.
StrengthFactor Current strength of ship. May fluctuate as ore crates are filled. Anything below 1.0 means ship is damaged.
Transponder Toggle & Ping Transponder controls, Toggle turns on and off ship transponder while Ping will activate transponder for three seconds
Lights Turns on and off internal lights.
Hatch Opens or closes ship entry hatch on top of the ship.
Timer See Timer.
Odometer See Odometer.

See Flight Systems on how to fly the ship and use its flight systems.

Using the Waypoint System

Pilot Left Console

Viewing and Selecting Waypoints

This uses the NavGrid system. Use the Down and Up waypoints selectors to select waypoint. The selected waypoint information is shown on NavP and NavC panels.

On the pilot center console, NavGrid will show the compass towards the selected waypoint while Attitude will show the ship's pitch, heading and roll directions. NavGrid is best used while not moving.

Editing and Saving Waypoints

Use Set to save waypoint of current location to the current selected waypoint position.

To edit currently selected waypoint, use your U tool to add name, X, Y and Z values to nName, nX, nY and nZ respectively. Then use the Save button to save.

NOTE: Waypoint 1 to 6 are presets and can not be over written.

Loading Waypoint to Auto Pilot

Use Load to Auto Pilot to load curretnly selected waypoint to Target to be used with the auto pilot system.

Auto Pilot and Crash Avoidance

The ship uses a modified version of NavCas which uses the 3 in 1 ISAN from Compass. Waypoints are loaded from NavGrid waypoint system.

Use while the ship is stationary. Activating Nav will start point the ship towards Target waypoint and deactivate itself when done. Autopilot will activate Nav and fly to within 5km of Target waypoint with Avoidance activated.

NOTE: Nav may not be very accurate. I recommend using it in conjunction with the NavGrid compass. The dd panel on the pilot left console shows debugging information for NavCas.

Avoidance will activate Guides. If the guides detect objects it will cut thrust and strafe up or down (will flash either the top or bottom Blue warning lights on the pilot center console according to the direction) while sounding an alarm (check game settings if you do not hear the alarm). It will also flash Red warning lights on the pilot center console according to the position of obstacle detected. If Autopilot is activated, it will readjust and continue its flight.

Avoids will show the counters for number of avoidances. The Trip counter can be reset by holding down the Avoids Reset Trips button.

NOTE: There is very limited coverage of range finders for the crash avoidance system. Use at your own risk!

Resetting Navigation

If ISAN or NavGrid is not working, it can be reset using the Reset ISAN button. Press once to take ISAN offline, then press again to reset.

Managing Power, Fuel and Propellant

Pilot Right Console

Interface Function
Propellant Total propellant remaining in propellant tanks, maximum of 264,000,000 units.
PropTime Time and distance remaining of propellant based on current usage.
FuelTime Time and distance remaining of fuel based on current usage.
WithBackup Same as FuelTime but takes into account backup rods available. Use the switch for Backup Rods to set the number of backup rods available. As standard there are 12 extra rods.
Fuel Rod 1 to Fuel Rod 6 Fuel remaining on fuel rods in individual fuel chambers, maximum of 300,000 units for each.
Generator Current generator rate, maximum of 100%.
Min Gen & Min Generator Rate Toggle and sets minimum generator rate. See Managing Power and Fuel.
Shutdown Will turn off all fuel chambers thus shutting down generators.
Battery Shows current battery charge of the batteries, maximum of 10,000 units.
HeatTransferRate Current heat transfer rate of the heat sinks, maximum of 100%.
Flow In & Flow Out Toggle flow modes of resource bridges. See Refilling Propellant.
Service Opens or closes access to propellant tanks from the top and bottom of the ship.

Managing Power and Fuel

See Power and Fuel Systems on how to manage ship power and refuel.

Refilling Propellant

The Service button gives access to the propellant tanks.

See Propellant Systems on how to refill propellant.

Known Issues

  • There is limited coverage of range finders for the crash avoidance system. Use at your own risk!
  • Autopilot doesn't seem to point ship directly to destination (a bit off), use in conjunction with NavGrid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does NavGrid show an error?

This usually happens after travelling to the moon via the warp gate where ISAN is not available. After returning, this can be fixed by reseting ISAN.
