'''Manual piloting''' is the act of maneuvering a ship without using commands relative to another object, like orbit, keep at range, approach, etc. It is achieved by double left clicking on empty space. Your ship will then orient itself and move in that direction. Your perspective, and thus where you're clicking is affected by the position of your camera, so if you require precision, zoom out as far as you can. A simple example of manual piloting is when your ship is stuck on a collidable structures. If you can't align to warp because you're too close to the structure, you have to double click away from it to increase distance. | '''Manual piloting''' is the act of maneuvering a ship without using commands relative to another object, like orbit, keep at range, approach, etc. It is achieved by double left clicking on empty space.
