Torn.space controls

* **W** or **Up arrow**: move your ship forward.
* **A** or **Left arrow**: turn your ship levorotatory.
* **D** or **Right arrow**: turn your ship clockwise.
* **S** or **Down arrow**: if your ship isn't drifting (if you are it makes your ship move backwards), you activate a shield that blocks 75% of the damage, but it also blocks passive healing.
* **Shift button**: drift. While drifting, rotational friction is removed, but angular speed increases.
* **Shift + S** or **Down arrow:** Go backwards.
* **Q** or **E:** Boosts your ship laterally (to one side or another). This juking increases its efffectiveness with high energy regeneration. **E** is also used for respawning.
* **P:** activate/deactivate autopilot (this basically freezes or unfreezes the ship's controls, allowing you to chat while the ship is moving, or block a function button in your ship if when activating autopilot at the same time both buttons are pressed (being permanently activated until it's touched again)).
* **1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0** buttons: select slot (when you can't scroll to change weapons).
* **C or V**: activate C-Slot or V-Slot (they are the same slot, only available in Elite Ships). C-slots are known for having a fixed item and not being able to be changed like the other slots, but they can fire regardless of being shielded or not.
* **Enter button:** close/open chat bar (when there is nothing written) start to write/send to chat (when something is written).
* **Mouse:** In the chat, players can do the same as enter if they click on the chat bar, and in the menus on the base it allows you to switch from one menu to another, select ship, buy/sell weapons, upgrades or lives,...
* **B**: when you are buying some weapon in the Shop, this button is pressed to confirm you want to buy an item (when you can't click in it).
* **Y** and **N**: Yes/No (usually when you are selling a weapon).

## Commands

**Color commands:** these ones are unavailable for the average player outside Private Messages at the moment, but they can be used by janitors, moderators, VIPs and owners. This color chat can be used as a way to change server messages color (as a bug).

* **Basic coloring:** they are shortcuts that allows people to use colors quickly. However, they are limited in number and complexity, so they are only useful to save time and chat space.
	+ ~`*red*~` it made text following it to be of a pink color. Change the "red" for another color to get some possible colors (*lime*, *silver*, *purple*, *lilac*, *lavender*, *violet*, *gold*, *yellow*, *orange*, *blue*, *BLUE* (deep blue), *RED* (blood red), *crimson*, *brown*, *black*, *grey*, *white*).
* **Advanced coloring:** with them you are able to choose any color, even transparent text (so it seems that chat is being deleted). Decimals are written with points, not commas (example: 0.35).
	+ ~`RGB(*255*,*255*,*255*,*1*)~` or ~`rgba(*255*,*255*,*255*,*1*)~` They help you get the color you want with the RGB/RGBA code (the first 3 numbers are between 0-255, being "255,255,255" white and "0,0,0" black), opacity included (0 = total transparency, 1 = total opacity). The RGB form could be written without the 4th number to make it a simpler method with full opacity.
	+ There's another command that uses hexadecimal code to color the chat. It works with ~`*Colorhexcode*~` , being colorhexcode a "#" followed by six characters (each pair representing Red, Green and Blue; in that order). It uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values zero to nine, and "A"–"F" (or "a"–"f") to represent values ten to fifteen. Each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits, also known as a nibble (half a byte). A single byte can have values ranging from 0000 0000 to 1111 1111 in binary form, which can be more conveniently represented as 00 to FF in hexadecimal. The extremes are #000000 for black and #FFFFFF for white.
