Posture controls determine how a ship will operate and maneuver and which sensor defensive systems are enabled.

Short display	Setting	Effects
THRTL	Throttle Control	Sets both the max speed and thruster power for the ship. WARNING: Prolonged use of the FLANK speed will cause damage to engines; reserve for emergency use.
MNVR	Maneuvering Posture	Determines the directness of the route to the next waypoint. Excessive flight settings will make random course changes to attempt to avoid incoming fire.
FORM	Formation Positioning	Determines how all ships in the current formation take position relative to the guide. True positioning will keep the same true bearings regardless of the direction the guide is facing. Relating positioning will reposition escorts when the guide turns. Setting this applies to all ships in the same formation. In Loose mode the guide will not slow down to let lagging escorts catch up.
BSHRT	Battle-Short	Overrides equipment safeties to allow them to operate indefinitely. WARNING: Modules operating in battle override mode will receive periodic damage when operating outside their safe limits.
RADAR	Radar Emissions Control
COMM	Communications Emissions Control
ESUPT	Electronic Support Modules
WCON	Weapons Control
PDTRT	Point Defenses - Turrets
PDSML	Point Defenses - Missiles
DECOY	Point Defenses - Decoys
PDZNE	Point Defense Zone
