How do I ... dock / succeed in trading / win a fight / configure my controller/joystick etc

General

also includes OXP Careers: Rescue Stations, Galactic Navy Reservist, Salvage Operator, Ship Escort Services, Jouster.

Keyboard

You might find it helpful to reconfigure your keyboard: Some people find it helpful to either move the position of the fire laser key, or to transpose the yaw & roll keys. Other people find that their standard Gaelic-language keyboard fails to allow them to use their Torus drives, for example.

  • Keyboard Cobra OXP retunes the navigation keys to be more precise helping accuracy with your laser.
  • TSOJ suggests rebinding the navigation keys in a more easy-to-use manner
  • This key-map [v.1.79] is a little dated, but is still helpful
  • Foreign language keyboards.
  • Linux keyboards (non US) can be a major problem: see here.
