[QUICK HELP] Ask a question, get the answer

[ero_sk]

I thought that it may be a good idea to have a thread like this so we can help each other with trivial and non-trivial issues.

Let me start- how can I fire a missile? Looking at my ship's info (basic start scenario, first on the list) it has 3 missilies (or does it?), however I'm yet to find out how to fire it at the target. Any ideas?

To mods- maybe it's worth making this thread sticky?

Question: How do I use borderless window mode and not flicker / stall at random when tabbing back and forth into the game just like window mode?

I've gotten a pilot to bail, claimed the ship, and can't figure out how to get crew to it to pilot it. I have a couple of crew on my ship but can't figure out how to reassign them.

Any crew you hire can be assigned to any position on a ship or station (better relevannt skills are obviously preferred). You need at least 1 marine to remotely board a bailed ship, whereupon they'll become its pilot no matter how bad their skills are

Curently you can only reassign crew via wharves, SYs or EQDs (I think), so to switch your service crew to marine status you'll have to dock at one of these stations first

Help. Whenever I open the sector map, the map drifts to the top of the screen. It makes it extremely difficult to click on anything. How do I make it stop? I've been fiddling with the control settings but so far nothing.

Also, how do I revert all of my controls to default settings?

How do I transfer cargo from one of my ships to another?

How do you get back in your ship after you get out in the space suit?

How do you get back in your ship after you get out in the space suit?

Request docking clearance with Shift-D and then follow the guides back into the cargo bay.

Do you have a controller / joystick plugged in by any chance?

FoV-slider? If it is not, will developers add it later?

Yes I do. I tried setting the deadzone to something huge but it didn't help at all.

1) Is there any way to re-bind the right mouse button so that it does not bring up a menu while piloting a ship? I tried using right mouse button to fire my weapons, like in X: Rebirth, but it's also pulling up a menu on my target.

2) Is it possible to capture escape pods, as in X3? So far they seem more comparable to those in Rebirth, where they fly to the nearest station unless destroyed.

How can I sell one of my ships? Buy Easy, sell......?

Edit: Found it, select ship, then in Map Right-Click Shipyard, select Sell.

Mine is some serious bugs, if anyone knows work arounds.

Can't claim ships that bailed.(tutorial even tells me I was successful but ship remains blue), I managed to claim one ship but no others...
Which leads to the second bug.
Can't order ships to fly to(tutorial puts me into a menu but the order is missing from that menu)

Obviously I effectively can't play because of it.

Access the docks terminal in a dock lol ..while you are docked..
You will see the menu to edit your ship.

Top left of screen you should see 3 pics of your ship, click each one to get the different look preview. you have limited times to do this per save.. which i think is stupid

Question :
anyone have some credit cheat codes as i would like to try something in a different save before committing in my popper save

I also have the first issue. It's kind of annoying.

Yes I do. I tried setting the deadzone to something huge but it didn't help at all.

I had this in addition to sliding around randomly when in walking mode. I fixed both by unbinding the entire "Menus - Analog" section under controls / menu navigation and "First Person: Analog" under controls / platform movement. I assume it wasn't factoring in deadzone settings when in those modes since the movement was very minor.
