Usage

Summary of the ship functions can be found on the YOLOL chips bolted behind the pilot chair. Swipe down on the lock to read each one. More detailed usage instructions are available below.

To enter the ship, there is a button above the cockpit that will open a Hatch. Once inside you can also open and close the cockpit glass Canopy. Buttons for these are available in the pilot right side console and also on the ceiling next to the hatch.

Flying the Ship

IMPORTANT: Before flying the ship you should bind your keys by using the V key while sitting on the pilot chair. You will to bind keys for FWD+/FWD- (for forward thrust, usually SHIFT and CTRL), YAW+/YAW- (for yaw, usually E and Q) and PCH+/PCH- (for pitch, usually S and W). No longer needed as of v1.1.0.

Pilot Center Console

Interface Function
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.
Profiles Adjusts preset flight profiles. See Flight Profiles.
Aim Reduces the response time of key presses for pitch and yaw.
Guides & Guidance Activates rangefinders (except center one which can be activated separately). Can be used as guide lasers. Guidance shows alerts showing position of objects detected with text and visualisation. For the visualisation, O means object is detected by the particular rangefinder.
Range & Distance Activates center rangefinder, with Distance showing distance to object.
Scanner & Scan Turns on the Ore Scanner.
Approach, Collect, Mine, Lasers, Laser Sweep Height & Laser Sweep Depth Mining controls. See Mining.
Warnings, SafeZone & StrengthFactor Warnings for being outside safe zone, ship damage as well as low fuel or propellant. See Warnings Panel.
Avoidance Activates avoidance. See Crash Avoidance.
Transponder Toggle & Ping Transponder controls, Toggle turns on and off ship transponder while Ping will activate transponder for three seconds
ISAN2, Heading, Dest, DTW & Deltas See ISAN Waypoint System for more informaton.
G Rotated Compass display. Shows direction towards Dest waypoint, + is in front of ship while O is behind the ship. Best used when stationary. See Compass for more informaton.

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

Using the Waypoint System

Pilot Left Console

This is a custom interface for the ISAN Waypoint System.

Viewing, Loading and Naming Waypoints

View a waypoint (WP1 to WP18) by pressing the individual buttons. The waypoint will be shown on the WP panel. Load the waypoint in WP to Dest using the Load Dest button. Once in Dest, the waypoint will be used by the compass and ISAN systems.

To give waypoints a name, use your universal tool to change the panel values with the name you want. This is for display purposes and your own reference only, it is not used anywhere else.

Saving Waypoints

Use Save Loc to save waypoint of current location to the waypoint position viewed on the WP panel.

To manually save coordinates, use your universal tool to add X, Y and Z values to NewX, NewY and NewZ respectively. Then use the button to save the coordinates to the waypoint position viewed on the WP panel.

Crash Avoidance

Avoidance will activate Guides. If the guides detect objects it will pitch the ship down and cut forward thrust.

NOTE: There is very limited coverage of range finders for the crash avoidance system. It also hasn't been tested extensively. Use at your own risk!

Mining

To approach an asteroid, point the center range finder at an asteroid and activate Approach. Once in range (optimum range is 10 to 14m on Distance), activate Lasers to turn on the mining lasers. Laser Sweep Height and Laser Sweep Depth will adjust sweeping distances of the lasers.

Mine is a button which will activate automated mining. Point the center range finder at an asteroid and activate. It will activate Scanner and Approach, and once in range it will automatically activate Lasers.

Collect turns on the two ore collectors. Ore collectors automatically adjust to point towards objects detected by the center range finder.

If batteries start running out of charge while mining, turn on Min Gen. Continous use of the lasers and collectors at the same time requires a Min Generator Rate of around 90%.

NOTE: For safety, lasers will turn off if the total fuel is less that 2,000 units.

Ore Scanner

Activate using the Scanner button. The laser will try to adjust to point at the objects detected by the center range finder. Scan results will show on the Scan panel in number of stacks. It has a maximum range of 100m.

Managing Power, Fuel and Propellant

Pilot Right Console

Interface Function
Battery Shows current battery charge of the batteries, maximum of 10,000 units.
Generator Current generator rate, maximum of 100%.
Min Generator Rate & Min Gen Toggle and sets minimum generator rate. See Managing Power and Fuel.
Fuel Rod 1 to Fuel Rod 6 Fuel remaining on fuel rods in individual fuel chambers, maximum of 300,000 units for each.
Propellant Total propellant remaining in propellant tanks, maximum of 38,000,000 units.
PropTime Time and distance remaining of propellant based on current usage. Distance is calculated from speed.
FuelTime Time and distance remaining of fuel based on current usage. Distance is calculated from speed.
WithBackup Same as FuelTime but takes into account backup rods available. Use the switch for BackupRods to set the number of backup rods available. As standard there are 16 extra rods.
Shutdown Will turn off all fuel chambers thus shutting down generators.
FlowIn & FlowOut Toggle flow modes of resource bridges. See Refilling Propellant.
Lights Turns on and off internal lights.
Headlights Turns on and off external light on the nose of the ship. May help with mining asteroids.
Canopy Opens or closes glass canopy.
Hatch Opens or closes ship entry hatch.
Timer See Timer.
Odometer See Odometer.

Managing Power and Fuel

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

Refilling Propellant

See Propellant Systems on how to refill propellant.

The small propellant tank above the crafting bench can also be used to refill the ship. Turn off FlowOut and connect the tank's resource bridge to any of the ship's resource bridges, this will transfer the propellant from the tank to the ship. You can then unbolt the tank and craft refills for the tank using ice and then bolt the tank back to the support. Rinse and repeat until full.

Known Issues

  • There is very limited coverage of range finders for the crash avoidance system. It also hasn't been tested extensively. Use at your own risk!

Frequently Asked Questions

I just printed the ship, why can't I control the ship (version <= 1.0.1)?

If using version 1.0.1 and earlier, please read the note in the Flying the Ship section.

Why does it need so much Aegisium?

I converted all external plates to Aegisium for weight and armor, you can use other materials like Bastium for these plates by editing the blueprint in the ship designer.

Why is the compass panel label G?

I ran out of single character global variables while both the C and K are used by the ISAN and waypoint system which I was hoping to keep unmodified. I haven't used any digits though, so potentially one of those could be used. Suggestions welcomed.

As of version 1.0.1, I managed to free up a lot of global variables, but decided to keep it as it is. In fact with the panel rotated (see below), if you look closely enough the rotated G kinda looks like a compass pointing north (up/forward) :P

Why is the compass panel rotated (version > 1.0.1)?

The original Compass uses front and right receivers, but this ship uses front and bottom receivers. For ease of future upgrades, I just rotated the panel instead of making changes to the original Compass code.

Why are there so many extra hardpoints?

I don't know, I went a bit crazy there, but you can use them to add whatever you want, including weapons.
