Consoles allow marines to interact with the Battlecruiser and small ships.

Interacting with consoles

To use a console simply walk your marine into the highlighted circle found directly in front of the console you want to use. while you stand in that region you will take control of the console and will be able to use it. To get off a console, move you marine away from the console or press escape while you have the console selected. If you deselect your console while your marine is occupying it, you can click the select console tab, or simply click on the console you are using to reselect it.
