    Default

    landing gear = insert
    Cargo scoop = home
    landing lights = L (useful when docking at outposts)
    Info/systems panel = 4
    Thrusters up/down = R/F
    Rotational thrusters = A/D
    Horizontal thrusters = Q/E

    Can't recall the defaults for the rest as they are bound to my flightstick. Remember the target lock key can select anything in front of you even in supercruise. helps when you see a USS on the way to some station.

    Bought a docking computer last night. Its a nice to have if you are multi-tasking or hate docking but i find it too slow. Sold it at the next station and loaded another cargo rack.

    Strange my keys are different and I haven't changed anything.
    landing Gear = L
    Thrusters up/down = R/F
    Rotational thrusters = A/D
    Horizontal thrusters = Q/E
    Change to next weapon cycle = N (dam important if your a bounty hunter)
    Open/Close Cargo hold = End
    Silent Running On/Off = Insert
    Flight Assist On/Off = Z (Dam important for bounty hunting and when planning to land some illegal products coupled with Silent running)
    Full stop = X
    Boost = Caps lock
    Power Distribution Reset = Down Arrow
    Distribute Power to Systems (Shield Regeneration) = Left Arrow
    Distribute Power to Engines (Boost Regeneration) = Up Arrow
    Distribute Power to Weapons (Reduces cooldown on weapons) = Right Arrow
    FSD = J

    Is Frontier doctoring the metacritic results? Decide for yourself.

    When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!

    Just a quick one; is it ever too late to get into E ?
    (just thinking if I pick it up at a later time)

    Not really, later might be better (if it goes F2P - which I think it will)

    I'm not so sure it will go F2P. With its p2p multiplayer structure its gonng need a major overhaul to make something like that viable. Which means the server maintenance costs increase as the game will need to manage all client actions in the game universe as to where it only now provides system/market data. I've also read somewhere that if it comes to point that they can't afford to run the db server anyone more then FD will release the latest snapshot to the public before shutting down.

    The servers are very expensive to run and if their funds dry up they won't have another choice than to try and go F2P and hope that turns the ship around.

    After they broke the offline promise I take every promise they make with a kilogram of salt.

    That's just the thing though. They will need a better infrastructure to run a mmo style F2P system which will have way higher running costs than the current server. So they wont be able to cut out the box sales without losing a big chunk of money to go towards the increased maintenance costs. They would probably have to start a new kickstarter campaign just to get enough money to overhaul the game and add a P2W, i mean F2P system.

    Either way, it doesn't bode well for the longevity of the game which is why I am most upset that they cut offline.

    BTW: Game is now updating to 2014.12.18.54398

    At least they are on the ball with bug fixes.
