    I started playing StarMade yesterday, and it took me a lot of time to even figure out the basic controls. WSAD for movement and mouse for rotating the view are pretty obvious and so is opening inventory/shop menu (tips on top of screen), but it's hard to figure out how to enter a ship.
    What I propose is to add a visual tip like "[R] Enter the ship", "[R] Enter the weapons console" or "[F] Target" on entity or module you're looking at.

    That is a good idea but unless I'm wrong, from what I understand, that would be very difficult to implement. I love the idea though.

    I just implemented to give the player an onscreen hint for the module you are looking at :)

    Thanks ;)
    Hope you made sure it takes into account possibly changed keybindings because I personally like to customize my controls.

    sure, I already have a dynamic system that will always display the current binding :) (Even the tutorial displays the right key-binding)
