how to fly a nomai shuttle

Overview

here is a guide that will show you the basics of flying a nomai shuttle, this is my first guide so don’t expect it to be that good lol

introduction

listen, i know nomai shuttles are hard to fly so i collected as much information as i could and made this guide for you. based on your feedback, i have included more tips and just made the guide better overall.

i don’t think you actually need nomai shuttles to complete the game, but they’re kinda cool and are fun to play around with.

internal controls

these are the internal controls of the nomai shuttle. if you want to learn how to fly a shuttle, these are crucial to learn.

left control (launch)
drag the ball here and the nomai shuttle will launch out of it’s gravity cannon.

middle control (recall)
dragging the ball here results in the nomai shuttle instantly warping back to the gravity cannon it was launched from.

right control (align)
dragging the ball here will align your shuttle with the closest planet and start moving towards it.

ground controls

the ground controls are found right outside the gravity cannon, the controls are really easy to learn but i’ll put it in the guide anyway

left control
this control launches the nomai shuttle from the gravity cannon, use this if you wanna just kick that shuttle outta here because it’s controls are too hard to learn

right control
if you decided you want the shuttle back, just use this control and it will warp back the the cannon

tips on how not to crash into planets

if you want to not crash into planets on the way to your destination, take these tips i kind of just made up

  • just time it. you can wait in the gravity cannon for as long as you like, try to launch when there are little to no planets around.
  • if your launch wasn’t so good, you can always use the middle control to go back to the gravity cannon.
  • once you launch, don’t press the right control yet. you should wait a bit until you get closer to your destination so that you don’t come crashing back into the planet if you press the right control, just make sure nothing is closer to you when you do press it

end

welp, here’s the end and i don’t really know what to say, i just hope you enjoyed or maybe you didn’t enjoy it i don’t care
