What this is about
You are standing at your ship. Now it is about getting it running – nothing more. Everything about shields, power and weapons comes later.
Getting in
Open the ramp or door, walk in, go to the pilot seat. There is a dedicated function for doors and ramps, and another one for leaving the seat.q1
Starting the systems
In the seat, flight/systems ready switches on everything needed to fly.q1 That is the one button worth memorising.
After that:
- Lights on when it is dark.q1
- Close doors and ramp.q1
- Only then think about clearance: take-off & landing.
Some ships additionally need power or start systems one by one. That is material for later – for the start the one switch is enough.
Getting out again
Leave the seat, open the ramp, step out. If you leave a ship somewhere, remember where – or store it again later.
