Not even thought of command for keyboard:
.nuke
blows your ship up in space and kills every1 in that system and the sun in that sysem goes out for 5 mins...
IS that a command? I love to reporgam keyboard setups! I make my keyboard so easy to use that even a monky can use... :lol:

godless, possibly because you got hit by a missile.

people would be going around constantly doing it and annoying others.

Yeh - as far as I remember, any combat situation (which basically means, any incoming missiles) will shut down your ion drive in order to divert power to the shields and defense systems, and whatnot.

Energy weapons, definitely... I don't have missiles so I can't test those, but the whole system's basiclly designed to make combat more slow and strategic. If you'd ever played Elites 2 or 3 you'd know how pointless it is when two ships doing half a million miles an hour are trying to shoot each other :)
