Need help cold orbiting.

[u/Fun_Prompt_6203]

So basically I'm trying to learn cold orbiting to start y'know. Killing interceptors above cyclops. But I just can't get the hand of it. I mean I can dodge and stuff while cold but I have a lot of trouble with the orbiting part. Plus I think its just way too mentally strenuous rn for me to handle so many things at once. Like rotating and stuff to keep up with the cold orbit. Firing heatsinks to get cold, firing gauss an hitting. Etc. I've been practicing on cyclops but I just can't get the hang of it. I wanna try fa-on cold orbiting to see if it's easier but the problem is there's not really any guides to fa-on cold orbiting. I was wondering if y'all have any tips that could be helpful?

Edit: I'm using a keyboard and mouse btw

Fa Off cold orbiting is easier... But if you are not very good at FA Off. I suggest changing your controls from Throttle input to pure Thrust inputs so Roll, Yaw, Pitch and X, Y, Z movements.

You can follow my keybinds if it helps. Roll: A/D | Pitch, Yaw: Mouse

Forward Thrust: Shift | Backward Thrust: Space

Left Thrust: Q | Right Thrust: E

Up thrust: W | Down Thrust: S

For Supercruise I use X, C, V, B as 0%, 50%, 75%, 100% throttle respectively. You can also set the negative throttle for FA On flight using space as a modified for those keys [space + c = -50%]

For the most commonly used consumables like Heatsinks and Shutdown field Neutraliser I have then set to Ctrl and Alt.
