For those of you that are playing with the "Default" Key Map that comes with the newer versions you might not be able to effectively stop the ship from drifting .

Here is the "hack" :

In the Settings File, scroll down to <KeyMap>
Remove the Key Map default set by the Mouse Overlords.
replace it with :

Code: Select all

	<KeyMap>
		<Map key="Tab" command="NextMissile"/>
		<Map key="Return" command="FireMissile"/>
		<Map key="Shift" command="FireMissile"/>
		<Map key="Control" command="FireWeapon"/>
		<Map key="Pause" command="Pause"/>
		<Map key="Space" command="FireWeapon"/>
		<Map key="Left" command="RotateLeft"/>
		<Map key="Up" command="ThrustForward"/>
		<Map key="Right" command="RotateRight"/>
		<Map key="Down" command="ThrustForward"/>
		<Map key="A" command="Autopilot"/>
		<Map key="B" command="EnableDevices"/>
		<Map key="C" command="Communications"/>
		<Map key="D" command="Dock"/>
		<Map key="F" command="TargetNextFriendly"/>
		<Map key="G" command="EnterGate"/>
		<Map key="I" command="InvokePower"/>
		<Map key="J" command="RotateLeft"/>
		<Map key="K" command="ThrustForward"/>
		<Map key="L" command="RotateRight"/>
		<Map key="M" command="ShowMap"/>
		<Map key="N" command="ShowGalacticMap"/>
		<Map key="P" command="Pause"/>
		<Map key="Q" command="CommandSquadron"/>
		<Map key="R" command="ClearTarget"/>
		<Map key="S" command="ShipStatus"/>
		<Map key="T" command="TargetNextEnemy"/>
		<Map key="U" command="UseItem"/>
		<Map key="W" command="NextWeapon"/>
		<Map key="F1" command="ShowHelp"/>
		<Map key="F2" command="ShowGameStats"/>
		<Map key="F7" command="VolumeDown"/>
		<Map key="F8" command="VolumeUp"/>
		<Map key="F9" command="ShowConsole"/>
		<Map key="Period" command="Stop"/>
	</KeyMap>

Then simply fly in peace knowing that you have a Brake to stop your ship and stand your ground against all Hostiles ..
