@Cresthen: All ships will have some inertia by virtue of having weight, even without cargo, you still have weapons, bats/bots, pwr gens, etc. Its like killing the engines, then use thrusters and left/right strafe to maneuver into position. Once you work out the specifics for the type of ship fully equipped but no cargo, the same skills can be used on capships as well. You just always have to be thinking ahead. I have watched others maneuvering a capship and could tell the instant they made the wrong decision and what the result was going to be. You can't wait until you get there to start your maneuvering. It is too late by then. is the only thing left to do.
I know it sucks to get hung up on an auto docking routine and and just spin around in circles. :wacko: Sometimes I have gotten out of that by clicking on a spot in space opposite of where I am trying to dock and hitting F2 (goto) to break the cycle and start over.

Ship handling 101. First thing Noob's get taught on the bridge before they are allowed to take the helm or be the 'Gator. Inertia, know the effects of it, how much the weight of your ship will impact it and how to counter it. In other words, always planning several course and speed changes ahead of where you actually are. Just saying.

I didn't expect that much attention. To answer a couple of the questions: On price I saw it as low as $79 USD depending on which version you get. All have the back lighting. The LCD display can be set up for a wide variety of function, everything from a clock/date to RSS links that are scrollable, to monitoring your system, to monitoring in-game stats. Pretty slick. I like Michael don't look at the keyboard when I'm typing either but with less typos. I do however look at it when gaming. Yeah i have noticed the issues with too many functions being used when on the server. So far I haven't gotten too crazy. I can program 3 different functions per game key but only one is there at at time depending on which of the M keys is selected. I have set the M keys up so each is a different game which works for me since there are only three I play. I also like it feature that if I were to hit as many as five different keys/functions most keyboard would only take the first three, this one takes all five in the order entered. There is also a lockout so when I am in game, the Windows keys and the word editor keys are disabled so that if you accidentally hit one you don't end up out of the game and at the desktop. Also right above the numeric pad there is another mute key and a thumb wheel that controls the audio level. So there are two mute keys for the mic/earphones (1ea) and the master above the numeric pad.
Newegg, Amazon, Logitech, and several other sites have them. Logitech's site has one of the versions for $99 USD, Newegg has one for $79 USD.

I've been lurking the last few days as my keyboard died. So, sounded like a good reason to get something better, yes? Now no flaming, I like it. It just showed up today. It is a Logitech Gaming Keyboard G510. I am in the process of setting up the profiles and game keys, 18 of them , with three memory keys. I have the first one set for Crossfire and of course the back-light for the keys is Red. I'll let ya'll know how this all works out when I get done setting up the macros, etc.
