Hotkey for Enabling/Disabling Flight Assist
I love the new flight mechanics and the disabling of the fight assist in order to coast through space! However, I'd love the ability to be able to assign a hotkey to toggle flight assist without going into the menu.

Think of it like the hand-brake in GTA 5. For example, I'm dogfighting with flight-assist on, but I want to temporarily disable it so that I can continue flying one direction, but spin around and fire in the other. So, I could hold the space bar to disable flight assist while I'm firing, then release it to re-enable it and continue flying.

I guess the idea could be expanded into setting up groups of systems that could be quickly enabled or disabled by keypress, but I really am only interested in the flight assist subsystem.

Great work! Thank you so much for the awesome game so far!

We originally wanted to add hotkeys for energy systems in the group update, but it didn't make it in in time.

What about now?

Unless something has changed, there are keybinds for several ship systems.

I'm looking at the keybinds menu now and it looks like you can toggle:
-Engines
-Flight Assist
-Gyros
-Hyperspace
-Life Support
-Shields
-IFGs
-Thrusters

Assign them to a keyboard key and you should be good.
