I go over the game mechanics behind our fundamental piloting commands approach, orbit, and keep at range showing how they actually function. What factors to think about when choosing between orbit and keep at range. I even go into how the server tick mechanic works and effects our basic commands. The building blocks to pilot your ship more effectively. Understanding these mechanics and how they work will help you understand how you can start to use manual piloting.
