The Pitch Controls

At the far left and right of the screen are displayed arrow symbols which light up when you look at them. These are the Stardrifter's pitch controls, which allow you to rotate the craft in order to get better views of the stars and planets around you. Selecting either arrow (by facing it and pressing your left mouse button) will rotate the Stardrifter. Another way to achieve the same effect is to press the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard. Also, you can reverse the directions of the on-screen arrows, so that the one on the left of the screen turns the craft right and the one on the right turns it left. To do this, select the Preferences option from the main menu, then activate the option "Reverse Pitch Controls".
