Piloting that ship is HARD (atleast, using the keyboard) and that made this game lots of fun. "Q" and "W" fire left & right thrusters (respectively) and "A" and "S" fire left & right retrorockets. This tricky control scheme means I ended up piloting my ship with a bunch of diagonal "Q+S" combos to quickly turn left (CCW) and "W+A" to quickly turn right (CW). Then I mixed in some other combos for precision aiming. Definitely the coolest control scheme for piloting a ship I've found in a while.

Glad to hear you didn't get too frustrated...  Let us know what you think of the new keyboard controls and single player difficulty!

Ha, I wasn't being sarcastic! :`) I'll try out the new scheme...
