Blackdutchie-Keybindings

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 It has been voted on by veteran players and replaces a very old and outdated default keybinding.

Warning! The first five training missions assume you use the old default keybindings. You can still switch back to them as explained here. However for simplicity, you may want to try the training missions before installing this keymap. (Feel free to skip the training missions. They are somewhat long-winded and not ideal.)

Overview

The File

Download AllegianceKeysBlackdutchie.zip

How to Install

• Extract the zip file
• Locate your /Allegiance directory
  • You can get there quickly by right clicking "Microsoft Allegiance" in your Steam library.
  • Open "Properties".
  • In the "Local Files" Tab, click on "Browse Local Files".
• If you have already customized your keys, make a backup of your old inputmap1.mdl file.
• Put inputmap1.mdl into the /Allegiance/Artwork directory and replace the old file.

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.
