Query on flight modes

[Reebourne]

Hi all

I have recently been flying a 325A. I have several modes available to me. Some of which I can't work out or find out what they stand for. Any ideas?

NAV FLT (Default flight mode with no shields or weapons)
NAV SCN ( Scanning mode)
NAV QT (Adds Quantum Markers)
NAV SVG (No idea on this one)
SCM GUN (Default combat mode)
SCM MSL (Missile mode)
SCM SCN ( Scanning mode)
SCM SVG (No idea on this one)
SCM TRT (No idea on this one)

Any help would be great. I am trying to learn the basics again.

Good morning.. straight up, this is one of those topics where the best thing is to jump into Discord and ask for help. SOOOO much easier to explain that way!

NAV is your getting around the 'verse mode. As you point out, no shields or weapons, but able to use the quantum drive. Quantum boost will eventually be added here for short jumps.

SCM is the classic 'doing things' mode, for whatever the ship is intended. Shields, weapons, mining lasers and salvage happen in this mode.

SVG refers to Salvage, TRT refers to Tractor beams, and of course are ship specific. The 315p has a tractor mode, for example.

As the transition to Master Modes isn't complete yet, there are still some questions about how all of this will settle out.

Thank you, so I assume the tractor and salvage mode on the 325I are more of a bug as it can not do either of those things.

True. And it's most likely because not all are completely sorted yet. The ship brands that are in SQ42 have had their HUD setups mostly implemented (Aegis, Anvil, Argo, Drake..?) But the rest are using a generic template right now.

What's your control setup? MKB? HOTAS? HOSAS?
