Usage

To enter the ship, there is a button for Canopy on top of the ship. Button for Canopy are available in the pilot left side console and above the pilot seat.

Flying the Ship

Pilot Console

Interface Function
ForwardThrust Current forward thrust, maximum of 10,000 units
Speed Current speed in metres per second.
Distance Activates forward rangefinder, with Distance showing distance to object.
Cruise Activates cruise control, forward thrust will not reset to zero unless turned down.
Aim Reduces the response time of key presses for pitch and yaw.
Turtle Activates turtle mode which sets forward thrust to a maximum limit of TurtleRate of full thrust.
Sloth (Right Console) 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.
Transponder Toggle & Ping Transponder controls, Toggle turns on and off ship transponder while Ping will activate transponder for three seconds
POS, k & Target See Compass System for more information. Target shows current target destination.
Tow Status, Tow Mass, Tow & Auto Gen Towing controls, see Towing ships.
Timer See Timer.
Odometer See Odometer.
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.
Canopy Open and closes the cockpit glass canopy.
Chair Spins the pilot chair between forward facing and backwards facing.

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

Managing Power and Fuel

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 Limit & Min Gen Toggle and sets minimum generator rate.
Fuel Rod 1 to Fuel Rod 6 Fuel remaining on fuel rods in individual fuel chambers, maximum of 300,000 units for each.
Shutdown Turns off fuel chambers.
HeatTransferRate Current heat transfer rate of the heat sinks, maximum of 100%.
StoredHeat Current stored heat in the heat sinks, maximum of 15,000 units.
Propellant Total propellant remaining in propellant tanks, maximum of 24,000,000 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 Backup Rods to set the number of backup rods available. As standard there are 12 extra rods.

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

Refilling Propellant

See Propellant Systems on how to refill propellant.

Towing Ships

Pilot Back Console

Interface Function
Tow Status Status of tow beam, 0 is off, 1 is on and 2 is locked on.
Tow Mass Mass of locked on ship, in kilograms.
Tow Activates the tow beam.
Auto Gen Activates Min Gen with Min Generator Rate according to Tow Mass.
BackRange & Back Distance Activates the back facing rangefinders and displays the distance.

The tow beam faces out the back of the ship so position the Tugger in front of, with the back facing the ship you wish to tow. Spin the Chair around to look out the back window and activate Tow to turn on the tow beam. Once the tow beam is locked on the ship, the Tow Status will be 2 and the mass of the locked ship will be shown as Tow Mass in kilograms. Activate Auto Gen which will then turn on Min Gen with a Min Generator Rate based off the Tow Mass. Wait till the generators reach the targeted rate before flying off.

The Tugger has enough power generation to tow a ship of a mass of up to 7.5ktons or 7,500,000 kilograms. For large ships, it is recommended to turn on Min Gen to ramp up the generator before locking on and then activating Auto Gen once locked on to adjust the Min Generator Rate accordingly.

NOTE: Remember to turn off Min Gen after towing to save on fuel.
