A control panel for you to be able to drive the ship around (will probably need a fuel mechanic and a ship health mechanic)
Taking off/landing would still be autopilot, but the players would have the ability to fly the ship around the map

I imagine the controls would look something like:
W + S = Forwards and backwards
A + D = Turn ship left and right
Q = Increase vertical engine thrust
Z = Decrease vertical engine thrust

By “vertical engine thrust”, I mean how fast the ship is gonna ascend/descend - 50% engine thrust would be hovering, anything above that and your ship will ascend, anything below that and your ship will descend

Would be cool to have fuel and ship damage mechanics but I think that may be a tad too much lol

UPDATE: would be cool if you could control your roll by moving your mouse in the same way you move your mouse while using a zap gun

thats a very unique idea but this would be one hell of a task for a coder lol

Expanding on this, would be cool to buy a moon and then use the light speed effect to travel to other planets once you engage it. Then instead of pulling the lever, descending after a point would cloud the view and begin loading the map stare

a beautiful idea

but holy shit that'd be hard to code
