Yup, that's right.

I was just 30 minutes into the game when I tried to get into the station. My ship went a bit too fast even when I am not controlling it at all while trying to find the way to get into it. Still not 100% sure how I do that, by the way. Much easier in Freelancer.

Then I went back and fourth, back and fourth, back and fourth. Which in ended up with my exiting the game and stepping for some fresh while dealing with me feeling pretty bad.

Can you change the speed your ship is going with while not touching any controls?

It might help if I could change to third-person.
