	The primary purpose of the SCCV Horizon is to travel the Orion Spur in search of more phoron deposits. Because you can't mine space, or look for artifacts in the void, crewmembers will need to go to away sites to claim them for the SCC. To accommodate this, the Horizon has ~~two~~ shuttles, the Spark, a mining pod, ~~and~~ the Intrepid, a research shuttle. However, this isn't to say that miners can't accompany scientists and vice versa; if you're going to the same spot, why waste the fuel?		The primary purpose of the SCCV Horizon is to travel the Orion Spur in search of more phoron deposits. Because you can't mine space, or look for artifacts in the void, crewmembers will need to go to away sites to claim them for the SCC. To accommodate this, the Horizon has three shuttles; the '''Spark''', a mining pod, the '''Intrepid''', a research shuttle, and the '''Canary''', a scouting shuttle. However, this isn't to say that miners can't accompany scientists and vice versa; if you're going to the same spot, why waste the fuel?

	Unless by explicit command order, the shuttles can't be grounded, and it's not even strictly necessary to tell command where you're going. It's nice, however, to give the bridge a heads-up before you leave, and maybe tell them where you are in case of certain disaster. Shaft miners can generally go it alone in the Spark to an away site, and [[Guide to Xenoarchaeology\|Xenoarchaeologists]] are capable of taking the Intrepid and setting out alone. However, a large expedition may dictate that Command should send a dedicated pilot, such as [[Bridge Crewman\|Bridge Crewmen]], to supervise the ship while the away team is out. Worth noting, however, is that '''Command staff should not accompany expeditions to away sites unless they are necessary for its success.'''

	~~Piloting~~ is ~~deceptively simple~~; ~~open up a~~ ''~~'helm console'~~'', ~~press a directional key~~, and the ship ~~will begin~~ to ~~move~~ in ~~that~~ direction~~. Press~~ <code>X</code> to ~~slow down the ship or~~ stop it~~. Several factors, however, complicate this~~.		The first rule of piloting ships is to remember Newton's first law; ''an object in motion stays in motion, unless acted on by external forces''. Air resistance, friction, and gravity don't exist in the vacuum of space, so a ship is going to keep going in the direction you pushed it in originally unless you perform a reverse-burn by pressing <code>■</code> to stop it.

	''~~'Important:'''~~ Newton's first law ~~dictates that an object in motion stays in motion, unless acted on by external forces~~. ~~Air resistance~~ and ~~friction don't exist~~ in ~~the vacuum of space~~, ~~so a~~ ship is going to ~~keep going~~ in ~~the~~ direction ~~you pushed it~~ in ~~originally unless~~ you ~~perform a~~ reverse-burn ~~by pressing <code>X</code> to stop it~~.		Ships on Aurora work by drifting. If you want to move your ship, you start by using <code>⭮</code> to turn clockwise, or <code>⭯</code> to turn counter-clockwise. Hovering over these buttons on your ship console will tell you which direction the helm is going to turn in. Once you are turned in the appropriate direction, press <code>↑</code> to execute a burn. Once again, ''keep in mind Newton's first law''. If you turn your ship 90 degrees to the right and burn in that direction, simply turning your ship 180 more degrees to the right isn't going to make the ship stop moving in its original direction. '''To move in a new direction, you must reverse-burn, then burn forward in your new direction.'''

	~~TL;DR: if you make the ship go left, it will keep drifting left until you press the center <code>X</code> to stop it. ''It doesn't slow down on its own.''~~		For a ship to even begin to move, however, it needs to have ''thrust''. What this means is that the thrusters, those funny little nozzles at the back of a ship, must be a) powered on and b) have fuel inside of them. The Horizon has thrusters that use a mixture of phoron and oxygen to propel the ship, and it is the job of the [[Atmospheric Technician\|Atmospheric Technicians]] to prepare the thrusters at the start of the round. Every other ship, like the Spark and Intrepid, will use CO2 to propel themselves.

Every other ship, like the Spark and Intrepid, will use CO2 to propel themselves.

	To power on the thrusters, you'll need to open up the '''engine control console'''. Then, you can use the global controls to power up all the engines. Success! Now your ship has thrust! You can also control the amount of thrust the nozzles are receiving by editing the thrust limiter at the top of the window; this is useful if you want to save fuel.
