U/D/L/R is T/B/F/H
EK is G

Mostly normal after that with some remapping of stolen keys.

NumPad 8 = accelerate
NumPad 2 = slow down
NumPad 4/6 = strafe left/right
NumPad 7 = CM
NumPad 9 = Thruster
NumPad 3 = EK
NumPad 5 = Tractor
Numpad Plus = Group 2 (Snac, Missiles, Torps, Razor, CD)
NumPad 0 = Bots
NumPad , = Bats
NumPad / = Mines

PageUp/Dwn = strafe up/down (yes my hand is that big)

X = reverse thrust

Mouse flight = Left click
Fire = Right click

That's all i use, and it works pretty well when i fly anything smaller than gunboat.
