Seeing as there are few resources out there to properly teach you how to become a space pilot or commander, and that many people give up promising careers because they can’t figure out how to efficiently go from one place to another more than measly millions of kilometers away, I decided to create this guide, and here we are! It took me years to finally get good at it. I did it the hard way and tried to figure everything out by myself. Not so easy, right? A lot of controls, many of which we can’t even read right, let alone know what they are for! On the simulator, you can just push buttons and see what happens, but trust me, it pays off to take your time to study. If you are thinking something like “it’s just a simulator, I don’t need this guide”, I challenge you to take the cockpit of any ship there and start flying. That’s why before you even dream of seating in a spaceship bridge or cockpit you have to learn and prove yourself with the SpaceEngine Simulator. There were many efforts to make them as simple as possible to control, but it’s still not a walk in the park. Our scientists and engineers have come a long way since we first “set foot” on space, many decades ago, and the machines they came up with, which allow us to visit, explore, and even settle in places thousands of light-years away, are complicated. Space is big, and although moving around it may seem easy enough, the fact is that it’s not. I would also like to thank the SE community, for being so great and supportive, specially everyone who in one way or another inspired me to create mods, which in turn led me to the beginning of my contributions and eventually the creation of this guide.Įxpand_less 1.1. I thank you for your corrections and suggestions as well! Of course, I would like to thank SpaceEngineer, the creator of SpaceEngine, for this marvelous software! It only keeps getting better and better! It is an honor to be able to contribute to it and its community by writing this guide. To be used at your own risk! Acknowledgements This entire page is also out of character.

The guide is written on a “roleplaying” style, and everything between brackets are said out of character.

Or simply update something and not fix a problem very close to that. Any comments, suggestions and corrections will be immediately considered, so it’s possible I’ll fix an error that someone pointed out, but not one that no one noticed yet. I will always try to update this whenever there is a new version of Space Engine out, but it can take a little while, depending on the necessary changes. You are free to share it anywhere, just remember to reference back to the original source, because it will keep getting updated, and hopefully the errors and mistakes will be minimized. This guide is not official, and it may contain errors, not only within the writing itself, but also conceptual and even theoretical.
