Right Mouse Button on Server to see players

That is all, not a lot of people know that.

Yup some kind of onscreen text tip "Right click to view server details" or something would be good so everybody knows how to do this.

If I'm not mistaken, it's already in there!

Nope I don't see any such text when viewing the list of servers. It just has "Public Internet Server List" at the top and then the list of servers.

I think there may have been some text to that effect in Mercenary, but I haven't seen any in Legacy. But I knew about this. First time I tried it and saw all the servers I thought, "Left click will connect me, if it's online. I wonder if the right button will show me the player list." And it did.

There are a few hidden commands, I will share a couple, but there is 1 I keep secret. People know about it, but it can give an advantage with risk during dogfights.

Increase / Decrease IDS all the way with 1 step: ALT + Numpad-9 / ALT + Numpad-7

Set S/W to +/-5 in one step: ALT + [ or ALT + ]

Inertial mode HOLD: Hold Spacebar

Recently added and in the changelog, these were suggestions I made to Vice and they were implemented. See kids, dreams do come true:
Scroll Nav map by 5: Right Click the arrows at the edge
Increment Radar Range: ALT+Numpad Enter

You missed the "IDS off" mode, careful when using this as you can blow yourself up with too much rotation.

Alt+spacebar (or whatever you have IDS on/off set to if you changed it) when IDS is active.

Radikal, that's the one I didn't want to share

. It can give people an advantage in dogfights with larger ships, with a risk.

I mentioned it because when you activate it by mistake a person might think their controller is broken, or that game has a bad bug.

Most commands are on the keyboard diagram ... the Alt-Spacebar command is missing. I don't think it's deliberate, though.

Hey Marvin, I don't see the ones I listed on the keyboard map. This is in your game's install directory if people are looking for it.

The "Increment Radar Range: ALT+Numpad Enter" is listed. The other combo commands are newer ... and probably should be added to the list at the bottom of the diagram.

Are we looking at the same one? The ALT Numpad Enter was just added in the last update and I can't find it on this chart. It was just Numpad Enter to adjust "Radar Range". I don't see it on keyboard.jpg, is there a new one somewhere? The other commands, S/W and Alt 7 & 9 were in the game since release. I believe, as Vice said, that it's leftover code from EM.
