Flying
How to fly.
To speed up/ Go fast hold down "W" key.
If you use your "A" or "D" key it strafes you left and right this slows down turning.
If you wish to turn use your mouse and point it in the direction you wish to go.
Using weapons.
To use your gun simply hold down left click or space bar.
If you wish to fire a missile press space bar or click.
There is a limit to how many missiles you use before you have to reload as seen on the bottom right of the screen. You may have to wait x amount of time before you are able to use them again this is also shown where the amount of missiles you have are.
The missiles restock at the beginning of the next level regardless of what they were previously at this is also the case for weapon upgrades in regards to the missile system.
Lives.
You have 3 lives starting off. this can be seen at the bottom left of the screen if you did not get a upgrade you should be at 100% it goes down every time you get hit. Your enemy drop scrap which can repair a small portion of your heath.
There is a sky tower (Outpost) which if you can damage it enough a repair ability unlocks at the top of it as a wrench icon. In the middle of it once you have defeated the tower a heart will appear this will give you another life but be careful doing this it is a tight squeeze. The tower deploys what seems to be drones that will run into you this deal a massive amount of damage.
Upgrades.
You will be presented with upgrades when you are playing this game to improve your fighter it is up to you to choose the upgrade you would like. Upgrades are the tech levels at the bottom left of the screen the progression of the tech to the next level is determined by the amount of scrap you get (the temporary drops from enemies that can also repair you.)
(v.09):
AC-30 - Increased gun damage (basic upgrade)
Leads to:
GAU-30 - Extreme gun fire rate (close quarters machine gun)
AC-60 - Massive gun damage (sniper)

PRDTR-4 - Increased Missiles damage and agility (Better standard missiles)
SWRM-6 - Increased Missiles capacity and speed (Spam box of missiles)

Supersonic - Increased speed and acceleration (Outruns missiles)
Vector - Increased agility and strafe capabilities (Allows you to circle and demolish capitals)
G-Suit - Increased pull capacity (Big agility boost)
Leads to:
Valkyrie - Maximum speed and strafing capabilities

Armored - increased max hull
Mechanic - Increased scrap repair (covert scraps to hull)
Mechanic+ - Even better scrap repair.
Scavenger - Maximum scraps attraction (Keep in mind scrap also feeds upgrades)

Iceman - Time dilation on target lock (Hold right click)
Premium - Faster Missiles refill
Enemies
There are several different types of enemies and progressively get harder along with missions adding things like objectives. They are shown on display with triangles and octagons.
Vipers - The basic enemy not to hard to deal with.
Elites - These are like the vipers but really just better.
Rouges - These are fighters with octagons (not the only ones) they have stages of hp.
(all for now)
Tips.
I have been informed that
- If you shoot a destroyed warship's front to rip it apart for extra scraps.
- Towers have a repair pickup that regenerates every 30 seconds, after you damage them the first
time.
- Missiles can be launched unguided.
- If you hold right mouse click over a target, you will zoom in and get a locking circle. Supposed to
be combined with Iceman probably.

(I do not have many but I can add to this section as you comment.)
