Where these facts come from
Every factual claim on this page is checked against official Cloud Imperium Games sources. Dates and figures are verified against the primary RSI blog post or support article linked below — not third-party trackers.
By default in Star Citizen, F is the interaction key, F1 opens the mobiGlas, N raises and lowers landing gear, and B (in the pilot seat) switches the ship's Master Mode to NAV for quantum travel.
Ships purchased with real money (pledges) are also earnable in-game using aUEC, per CIG's no-pay-to-win policy — though not every ship currently sold in the pledge store is yet purchasable in an in-game shop.
