KEYBOARD COMMANDS FOR DESTINY ----------------------------- Destiny commands are broken down into two modes (combat and navigation). Some of the commands can be used in both modes. You'll have to experiment to find which ones. If you press a command key and the shift key, you command will be extended for a longer period of time. Pressing any other key will stop the previous command. Also the 'K' key will cancel all outgoing beacons. There is also a training mission mode in Destiny. It is activated by pressing OPTION instead of START at the beginning of the game. In this mode you will not be able to hyperdrive after the initial start. To identify (or attack) another vessel, press the number keys' 1-7, or 0. This will put a vessel within your range. If you feel brave try fighting a Death Caster (#5) COMBAT MODE: Combat mode is activated by press the obvious 'C' key. In this mode you can activate radar, speed, and weapon systems. Refer to the following chart for the exact keys to use. NAVIGATION MODE: Navigation mode is activated by pressing the 'N' key. In this mode you can activate Enemy Search Radar (ESR), LandBase locators (LB), power shutdown (<), Mayday Msg, and Hyperdrive. LANDBASES: Landbases are located by using the number keys 1-7, and 0. While in navigation mode, after selecting the landbase of your choice, the next step is to set course for that target. Which brings us to another obivous key 'SET'. Press SET and <, this will SET your course and do a power shutdown in preparation for hyperdrive. Now all you need do is press 'D' and your off into the wild blue yonder (or is it black out there?). The above process is the same for ESR routines.
