Ship Controls[]
Acceleration[]
On the bottom right of the screen, there will be a slider. That is the Acceleration Slider. If you wish to go forward, drag the slider to the right, and drag it back to the left to slow down/stop. In the Steam version of IP2, press W to move forward and press S to slow down.
Controls[]
In the bottom left side of the screen, there will be two buttons with a green arrow each. If you wish to turn left, click the button that has the arrow that points to the left, while if you wish to turn right, click the button with the arrow that points to the right. For the Steam version of IP2, press A to turn left and press D to turn right.
Shield[]
A ship has 6 shield (Blue Lines that envelops the Icon of the ship) pieces. Those shields protect your hull (Green Icon of your ship). If your shield is damaged, the color will turn blue>green>yellow>orange>red. If the shield is damaged even further than red, it will break. The shield piece that broke will naturally regenerate if the ship have power but it will take a long time. It can be regenerated instantly by recharging them in a station.
Hull[]
The Hull is the green icon that the shields envelops. Its the most important part of the ship. If the hull is damaged, it will change color, from green>yellow>orange>red. If the hull if damaged further than red, the ship will be destroyed. The ship will repair itself when given enough time. To repair it instantly, repair the ship at a station.
Power[]
The ship needs power to move, shoot weapons, activate shields etc. So thats why the ship needs a Power Generator, and a Capacitor. The Generator generates power while the Capacitor stores it. You will see at the bottom of your screen near the Hull on how much energy the capacitor has. Moving, charging weapons etc needs energy so they will takes some from the capacitor. If the capacitor ran out of energy, the ship will stop charging weapons, shields etc. They can also be damaged.
Communication[]
You can communicate to other pilots by using the comms button. You can see it above the Acceleration Slider. Select a ship and then click the button to talk.
Docking[]
To dock to stations, you need to go near them, select the station, and then click the dock button above the Acceleration Slider.
