Option/setting to keep a ship at a certain speed without holding down W.

Similar to other space games, it'd be nice to not have to hold down W all the time to go forward.

So when enabling this option the ship would go at a certain speed until the player decelerates/accelerates.

This. Maybe a key to lock speed, or a way to type in a certain speed and go at it until you press it again.

undr server config set friction to 0, it makes space realistic, you dont slow down without stopping with S or SHIFT

That is a nonsolution.

These guys want throttle control so that not only is traveling easier, but they also get the benefit of being able to use a joystick through xpadder, and be able to use a similar control scheme to Wing Commander.

I would like a \"wanted speed\" - w/s works as now. Shift+W/S sets your \"wanted speed\"

The closer \"wanted speed\" is to the maximum, the more it cripples your maneuverability naturally. It could be a neat thing to set \"wanted speed\" to maybe \"100\" in fights, or even change your hotkeys to put strafe on wasd and inc/dec speed (or wanted distance to target if you have a lock on it and enable a gunship-strafe instead of fighter-default modus).

Caps lock?

I\'d really like some kind of speed-lock... Perhaps I could even be able to get out of my core and walk around my ship without losing speed. If I left the ship\'s vicinity (think gravity area), it would auto-brake or something.

That exactly. I liked the way the x-games handled speed. Having to accelerate to whatever speed you like and then it\'d stay at that speed until you decelerate.
