GET COMFORTABLE

Play your way.

Thrust, brake, pitch, boost, tractor beam, and flare. Flight is assisted rather than a full simulation.

Trajectory assist, auto-level, handling assist, collision forgiveness and time pressure are separately adjustable, and none of them block mission completion, unlocks or medals. Optional high-contrast markers, reduced motion and camera effects, and a hide-radio-dialogue setting keep the flight readable. Assisted mode restarts from the last rescue beacon; expert mode uses full-mission runs and stricter cargo damage.
