I'm just wondering what people use for their main keys on Freelancer. I changed mine quite a bit.. does everybody else change theirs or use the default?

Mine:

Q and E - Strafe Left and Right
Tab - Thrust
W - Launch CD
A - Launch Mines

F and G - Bots and Bats
B - Tractor

123456 - Weapon Groups

Z - Engine Kill
X - Strafe Backwards (slowly)
Shift W - Cruise
Space - Freeflight
H - Turret view

I think those last few are default... but those are the main keys I use.

What do you use?

I'm just listing what I've changed...

Strafe Up-Up arrow key
Strafe Down- Down arrow key

Fire torpedo-1

And its not usually the same but I like to keep my Mini/torp on 2,3,4

To be short I usually change my weapons or weapons group to something nearby for easy change during battle.

ASWD - strafe
Arrow keys - turn
Ctrl + W - cruise
Shift + Space - free flight (that first mode before goto and dock, not mouse control)
Mouse wheel (turn) - throttle
Mouse wheel (press) - thruster (Tab as well)

1 - 9 - select weapon group
Q - fire weapon group 4 (usually razor, torp or mortar)
E - fire weapon group 5 (usually mines or cap inferno)
N - mines
I usually use groups 1-3 for main gun setups, 4 and 5 for special weapons.

Plus some top secret keys I can't talk about;)

The main major change I made to the defaults was to put CD on mouse button 3, as I got really annoyed by people cruising off as I pirated/arrested for smuggling them.
The rest of my setup usually changes from ship-to-ship, and occasionally depending on what I'm intending to fight (NPCs or players).

WASD for strafe, seems more popular than I thought.

Arrow keys to pitch, helps with flying through Asteroid Fields.

1234 for weapons groups, I leave 5 out cause that's my Greyhounds' CD

` for select next sub target
shift + ` for select previous target
