Backspace is a bad key to open the console btw.
Ever tried to modify a ships name or variant name ^^
oops, hadn't thought about that. I'll see what I can do. Maybe require shift to be held down as well?
For now, you can change the key to whatever you want in data/console/console_settings.json.
Also I have a slight problem opening the console. The console doesn't pop up.
Alt + Tab doesn't work ,too.
Have to open my task manager and then mark it and use the switch to button.
Are you playing borderless windowed? It's pretty much required, otherwise you'll have serious problems (such as the pop-up not showing and your game becoming unresponsive).
I'm planning on writing a dialog plugin for entering commands in the campaign to get around this issue, but combat support will probably always suck.
Edit: to play borderless windowed, open up starsector-core/data/config/settings.json, change
"undecoratedWindow" to true and uncomment the
"windowLocationX":0 and
"windowLocationY":0 lines. Then you just need to untag fullscreen in the launcher and set the resolution to your desktop resolution.
