Add them to the game perhaps ? EG arrow keys move you around the place and "A" brings up the attack screen.

I don't have a keyboard though

Doesnt make any difference. You can still use your mouse...

BTW its literally about 10 characters added to each html element that requires it. Would make movement a lot quicker for traders and hunters etc.

I could see it for movement...but not for attacking...A brings up what attack screen? What if there are 15 people in the sector?

Game runs fine how it is imo. Not everyone can abuse it with cable and DSL.

Well that would be trickey I guess. Maybe use 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc. to bring up the examine screen on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. player IS or other objects.

E.g

I'm IS with 3 traders 1 port and 1 weapons shop.

1 = Trade on port
2 = Raid port
3 = Weapons shop
4 = Trader 1
5 = Trader 2
6 = Trader 3

Although perhaps that is a bit too much work. Although if it went like that it really would eliminate any huge advantage of using the keys as you would have to look at the page, look at what is IS etc. instead of just hitting one key.

As for it benefitting dsl / cable users more I dont know. They will always get quicker load times then dial up. It would be benficial to both groups I think.

that'd be cool if i didnt have to use my mouse at all. then i'd never have to move

While it would be nice to have quick keys for things I think it would give an advantage to some and not others
