What this is about

There are no roads in the verse. You look for your destination on the map, the game sets a marker, and you line your ship up with it.

The map

There is a dedicated function for the map in the controls – on foot and in the ship.^q2 There you find your destination and set it.

Once set, the game text says a waypoint appears on your visor.^q1

Marker and route

The marker is your route: you turn the ship so that it sits in front of you. You need that right away for quantum travel – no alignment, no jump.^q1

If you see no marker: open the map and check whether the destination is really set. It happens to everyone at the start.

Flight modes

The ship has two operating modes you switch between: one for close range and combat and one for travel and quantum travel. In the controls they are called SCM and NAV, and there are functions for cycling and for setting them directly.^q2

For the start it is enough: NAV for long distances, SCM for everything else.

What exactly the modes change about speed and weapons is not part of this beginner guide – and we quote no numbers for it here.

Next: quantum travel

Checklist

You have opened the map and set a destination.
You can see the marker on your visor.
You can switch between the flight modes.
