Flying and moving in Cruiser Command

in cruiser command flying your ship is represented by a gauge to the left of your ship.

• image of small ship and its gauge

the middle solid dark blue line represents your throttle and determines the speed of your ship if you move the throttle to the top, the guage will slowly fill indicating that your ship is speeding up. if your throttle is at the top of the guage your ship will fly at max speed (which can be upgraded) to raise and lower the throttle you use accelerate (hotkey w) and decelerate (hotkey s) abilities

• image command card highlighting position of each accelerate/decel

The direction which your ship will fly is changed using your mouse and issuing a move command the ship will always move directly forward.

flying around costs energy, the faster you go the more energy is drained.
