Try V and B. Or was it B and N. They were zoom keys by default when I installed. It's not terribly convenient, but workable.

I wish what you're saying was true. That people would forget about stores and buy online instead. Unfortunately, what's upsetting stores isn't that they'd lose all sales, it's that they'd lose some.

Everything else just moves into position then stands still exchanging shots. While capital ships are clearly not fighters, just
