Hopefully you can find answers to your queries in here..

Q. How do I save the game

The game is auto saved every time you jump or dock/undock

Q. How do I control the ship

  W = steer down
  S = steer up
  A = steer left
  D = steer right
  Q = roll left
  E = roll right
  Space bar = fire thrusters
  Left Alt = Turn gravity anchor off/on
  H = help menu = above instructions

Q. How do I mine asteroids

  First you will need to get close enough to the asteroid and match its speed, gravity anchor on and thrusters on
  Then click and hold left mouse button on the asteroid to fire your laser. 
  The asteroid will heat up and change colour. practice will get the best colour of a deep blue. 
  Not enough lasering will not heat it enough and the message will tell you so. 
  Too much and it explodes without getting any minerals. 
  A reported heat of 2200 k is the aim for good results.
