I have just started playing UQM for the first time and I am having trouble deciphering the commands.
Is there a list of keyboard commands available somewhere?
I have figured out how to navigate and fire but I am stuck because I can't figure out how to recall a lander.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rabenstrange

use esc to call back your lander, u can also use that to warp out with your ship if u encounter an enemy ship u dont wanna fight (waste 10 fule)
shift + ctrl is for using space marines iwith the orz nemasis.
space is for selling things in the starbase and skip a chat while some1 els beside u talk with u (not recommanded unless its a probe)

These controls are configurable by editing the keys.cfg file which will
be automatically generated in your personal directory for uqm data the
first time you start the game.
The location of this directory varies per system.
On Microsoft Windows systems this is a folder named 'uqm' in the
application data folder for the current user.
This is usually in one of the following locations:
- "C:\Windows\Application Data\"
(Windows 95, 98, SE without separate users)
- "C:\Windows\Profiles\YourName\Application Data\"
(Windows 95/98/SE with separate users)
- "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\"
(Windows NT/2k/XP)
On Unix systems this personal uqm data is stored in "~/.uqm".
Later versions of The Ur-Quan Masters will include a key configuration
tool. In the meantime, the keys.cfg has a bunch of comments in it
that should help you set up your joystick and remap key controls to
your satisfaction.

I am having a keyboard Issue. I am using a new Mac laptop and I am able to use all controls except for when Im using the lander on a planet. I can't seem to get the lander to shoot. I looked under the settings and have tried switching the fire button to different keys but still I cant seem to get it to fire. I have played before on a PC and i remember being able to shoot with the lander. What key is it to fire with the lander?

Could this control setup be any more confusing!?!? I can't figure it out... i want to play mele against the computer. I am not seeing a joystick link for a "thrust" button and i can't even start a mele. If i do try to start a mele i can't get the mele to start, i can't even get out of the ship select menu. I have to cntrl alt delete the game to get out of the ship select screen.

so can i use a joypad for full control in super melee? this is very confusing. I can get the joypad to move the cursor around to select ships but i cant get the melee to start with any button. there is no define "thrust" button in the define buttons, only define "escape". I am assuming that because of these flaws in the software, there is actually no way to start and play super melee with a joypad, is this true or not. By the way i have seen many other players complaining about this problem.
