HOW TO FLY
Objects at rest tend to remain at rest.
objects in motion tend to remain in motion.
Beyond recognizes this: if you are moving
and applying no thrust, you will keep moving in
the same direction. If you turn, it has no
effect on your movement, unless you start
applying thrust.
You thrust be pressing the CTRL keys and shoot
by pressing the ALT keys. (Not all ships are
equipped with guns, however.)
The 0 (Insert) and . (delete) keys on the
numeric keypad can be used to turn left and
right. The arrow keys on the numeric keypad
will turn you to that angle (so, if you press
the 9/pageup key your ship will turn until it is
facing up, to the right.
THE INSTRUMENTS
There are three main instruments in any beyond
ship: the coordinate display, the radar and
the status bars.
The coordinate display shows your position
by two numbers, for X and Y position.
Negative X is left, positive X is right,
negative Y is up and positive Y is down:
-1,-1 1,-1
0,0
-1, 1 1, 1
Your radar display will show a blip in the
centre for you, with other blips
representing planets and ships.
The status bars show your recharge level,
thrust setting, shield/armour and heat.
Thrusting and shooting use up power and
generate heat. If you drain all your power
or overheat, you will be unable to thrust
or shoot for a few seconds. Upgrading your
generator and heat sinks will help prevent
this. Your shield/armour display shows a
bar to represent armour, which may be
overwritten by a second bar, which represents
shields. If your armour level drops to zero
through staying out of port too long or
being shot, your ship will explode.

HOW TO LAND
If you fly over a planet that can be landed on
you will automatically land on it. Pressing the
S key will scan the nearby planets and give you
information about whether you can land there or
not. Press F1 while on a planet for help on the
options there.
------
HOW TO COMMUNICATE
If you land on a planet you may find someone
to talk to there, and you can try to communicate
with nearby ships by pressing the C key while in
flight. Pressing F1 while communicating will
give you more help on the communication system.
