Will ships in the DFM come with a manual?If so, will each ship type have a different manual?How similar are control functions across different ship types?asked by SlackR

That's a really good question.I actually wasn't thinking about a manual for the Dogfighting Module, but now you've just given me ideas of... Claw marks on the old Wing Commander. So maybe we could mark-up a little PDF from each one of the manufacturers done up as a Hornet manual or Aurora manual.I'm not promising that, but I may after this recording session, go out and have a discussion of how easy it would be to do that.But, outside of that, the general control functions across the ships will be more or less the same. So the interface and how you fly it with a joystick or a gamepad or a mouse or a keyboard will all be fairly consistent. It's just that some of the ships will have more functionality than other ships. So you just won't have as much on a more basic ship than on a more advanced ship.In general, the control functions operate more or less the same especially on the fighters. The IFCS, all that stuff, is similar. The difference is the ships themselves will handle differently depending on the thruster power, depending on their mass, depending on the placement of thrusters, depending on the energy drain, which is affected also by the weapon usage, all that kind of stuff.
