Quick start

New to the cockpit? Follow these steps before your first run.

  1. 1

    Learn the flight model

    Read the [keyboard and mouse controls](/guides/controls-keyboard/) or [gamepad layout](/guides/controls-gamepad/), then practise boost lines and drift timing in the tutorial.

  2. 2

    Run the free demo

    Follow the [demo walkthrough](/guides/demo-walkthrough/) to clear the Phiraun sector slice, claim unlocks, and feel the arcade loop before launch day.

  3. 3

    Plan your first build

    Use [ship upgrades](/tier-list/ship-upgrades/), [weapon loadouts](/tier-list/weapon-loadouts/), and the [loadout planner](/tools/loadout-planner/) so each death buys a clearer next run.

  4. 4

    Survive swarms and behemoths

    Study [combat and survival](/guides/combat-survival/) plus [how to beat behemoths](/guides/how-to-beat-behemoths/) before diving inside colossal hulls.

  5. 5

    Check launch details

    Use the [day-one launch guide](/guides/day-one-launch-guide/), confirm [release date and platforms](/overview/release-date/), and skim [pre-launch events](/updates/pre-launch-events/) so August 7 is calm, not chaotic.
