Description

Problem,

The control order in the control option setting makes it hard to immediately see the most important commands. For instance, toggle shield is after all the load/unload/fire tube.

Solution,
Most used control should be presented first to allow newer player to immediately know the most important keybinds.

Alternate solution,
Controls should be ordered alphabetically.
