Ship control is hard coded

[󠀡󠀡]

Under default controls, the S key both slows down the ship and also does a rapid descent if the ship is high.
When I rebind my movement keys to ESDF, the descent part remains hard coded to S. When I'm flying high the game will rapidly descend my ship when I turn left.

Still a problem: with ESDF movement controls, S turns left and descends, and D slows but does not descend. Took me a while to figure out what was happening. As is, the ship controls are so unwieldy - especially with this hard-coded function - that I groan every time I realize that I'll need to fly somewhere. Please fix the S hard-coding and consider a control scheme where the "jump" key ascends and the "crouch" key descends (or allow the functions to be remapped separately).

Better yet, put slow and descend on different keys. It's particularly annoying on Aetheria where I want to slow down approaching and island and suddenly, poof, I'm leagues below it.

If you remember, you can press S and Spacebar at the same time to slow down without descending, but that's really counterintuitive.

I usually use D to come to a complete stop over where I want to land, and then spin/descend using S. It's very awkward and probably takes three times as long as landing should, but it makes the ship somewhat usable for me.

Yea, ship controls kinda suck. Honestly 99% of the time I just hit E and drop out of the ship mid-air. Easier and faster lol
