Playing using the keyboard

[xzanfr]

The keyboard only route is definitely possible!
I tried al the alpha 1 missions on my saitek cyborg (arranged for left hand) then again on mouse and keyboard and finally classic keyboard and found the classic keyboard the most responsive and definitely the best method for me - possibly because I've played a lot of oolite on keyboard and am used to it and the s,x,<,> has become second nature since I was a kid.

It's really a matter of personal preference and whatever fits the way your brain is wired to your eyes and hands

Censorship

Left **** = Secondary fire (remember to turn off sticky keys if you are running windows).

I think you were censored because you forgot the f in "shift".

(if I don't get censored for using "f in")

No problem there - I established ages ago that gham is a nice place to dwell, as is Littlehampton.

Hi all,

Is it possible to use the keyboard to pilot the spaceship? By this, I mean I can use the arrow keys to move around, rather than the mouse?

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I've created a printable keyboard template. I'll keep it up to date and make a nice pdf if a few people want me to.
