Problems manually controlling flagship (solved)
« on: December 08, 2019, 04:00:36 AM »

Once combat starts even if I turn autopilot on and off and cycle command through different ships whenever I press a key such as WASD it brings me back to the overview/map mode.

You can't "cycle command".
What you're doing is looking at the video feed from another ship, which does not allow any interaction except returning to the tactical map.

You can transfer your command to another ship by moving your shuttle there. But this takes time depending on how far away you are from that ship.
The buttons at the bottom-right of the tactical display light up when you select various friendly/hostile things, and will display tooltips when you hold your pointer over them telling you what they do.

Yeah, that's what I meant by cycling.

My problem was for some reason I had to left-click on an empty spot on the map before attempting to control the flagship.
