Blackdutchie-Keybindings

This is the default keybinding for new players. It has been voted on by veteran players and replaces a very old and outdated default keybinding.

Overview

Restore Defaults

To restore the default keybindings, open the menu ESC → Game G → Map Keys and Controls C. On the bottom right of that menu, click "Restore Defaults", then "Accept".

Controversial

• It has been argued that Shift-Space and Space should be switched. This would allow more control while boosting.
• This keybinding uses WAXD to sidethrust in the four directions. The argument over whether to use WASD instead, or not, was a heated one.
• Ctrl-C should switch probes/mines. However that is missing in the first version.

In the end, it is a personal preference. Customize the keys once you figure out what you like.
