Docking hotkey

Liam Welton Posts: 54 6/4/2014	Hello all! We are looking at introducing a hotkey for docking/launching in the next patch to allow the experience to be a bit more fluid for players. We currently have this mapped to E, but we're unsure if this feels like a natural key for this function. We're really interested to hear people's thoughts on what would make sense as a hotkey for docking and launching. Cheers! Liam edited by challis on 6/4/2014 -- Unity Developer \| Failbetter Games

If you've moved into a port there's really no situation where you want to keep moving and ram the quay. -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Doctor~Hieronymous Please, no photographers.
