Im curious as to what you guys set your targeting keys to. Im using a joystick so i have the target object in view set to one of the top buttons. got 2 buttons on the bottom that arnt in use atm. think i may put them as flight keys.

also, off topic how do i put the @AFS in my call sign? (if i need to that is)

There's a page with some suggested remaps here:

Most importantly, you need all your thrusters (forward, back, up, down, left, right) and boosters mapped very conveniently. You also need two buttons for weapons (guns/missiles), and a "target center" key.

There are other controls you will need (use a keyboard too), but those are the most important.

Type @AFS after your name when logging in.

Your @AFS tag may not be in the system yet. If it doesn't work, log in regularly and try again the next time you log in. Notjarvis may take some time to get to it.

Useful targets to have bound:
Target centre (as mentioned)
Target nearest enemy
Target enemy bbr
Target enemy miner
Target enemy con
Target enemy base
Target friendly bbr, miner, con, base
Target friendly lifepod
Target aleph (great for getting out of Dodge)

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

That page is a good basis to start from.
