Could you just fuckin tell us instead of posting a vid?
I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that it took me ENTIRELY too long to figure out that pushing the left stick up and down accelerates/decelerates the ship. :( I had been using the boost to go anywhere and didn't know how to slow down.
Remember when instruction manuals were a thing?
That's hilarious. I'm confused about boosters (or is it thrusters?). On PC it's pressing the space bar. I think they're for turning around faster, but it seems they only work in the up direction. I've started trying to orient my ship so that the enemy I'm fighting is "up" for my turns, but it's kinda wonky. Anyone else doing this?
Hold space and press the movement key in the direction you wanna go. When space is held down(and you're using default controls) your wasd controls the booster movement not your ships yaw/thrust. Another tip is you can combine it with your mouse turning to get insanely tight turns on other ships. Also if you boost slightly then thruster boosters you'll temporarily carry that momentum too.
@Tylerdurdon @jordanlund thrusters enable strafing but more importantly they turn off "flight assist" and engage realistic Newtonian motion. So accelerate to top speed, hold Space and turn around to continue in the same direction and shoot "backwards".
It literally tells you that's how it works the first time you fly a ship... and you also seem to somehow not know about the "help" menu..? Most things are explained there. And even if there was no good help menu, you have the Internet, it takes like 10 seconds to look up anything. Why produce more material waste with an instruction manual that won't update with the game and won't have things as well explained?
How are you this dumb? Seriously, everything you've said is so deeply stupid it's not even funny.
