I am guessing you need the keys to control the ship. Arrow up=forward thrust. Arrow left or right ROTATES your ship (the number pad 8,4 and 6 work work as the arrows do) Enter fires main weapon, shift fires secondary weapon. If you get a sticky keys message just tell the message to not appear again. F1= pause, F10=quit? There are sites with more stuff about the ships but they are not in front of me (I am 200 miles from my own computer...no SC... waaa). Wiki site was not much help for the keys...guess I will update it.
