Press the reload button.

Thanks, just found it in another thread, too:

'R' detonates it on the PC. Not sure about consoles.

If it's launching sticky missiles, you detonate after impact. If it's airburst, you detonate over the target.

A good newbie guide would help a lot of folks. There are wiki pages and other forums created by players and fans elsewhere on the net that provide good articles.

Agreed. There are so many things in this game that should be much simpler. Several hours in today I discovered the "EGO WHEEL" that lets you adjust all your video/audio settings and a whole lot more. I happened to bump the spacebar while on the player screen. I had virtually given up on adjusting some of those settings while in game and was so stoked to find it I ended up adding a video about it to my youtube channel. The icon they have on the menu even says "space" but it just doesn't stand out. Frustrating.

Under the EGO wheel is also a lot of other cool stuff. Like "Intel" where you can listen to audio and watch video about the lore. And "Goals" where you can track your pursuits (there's a lot of them).

I found no instruction on how to exit the game or log out to change a character, luckily it's the rather obvious F6 key.

ESC > press and hold space bar > upper right corner is "Exit Game"

hard to do one-handed...

The default controls are:
U - Quick chat
Y - Quick menu

Pretty sure my Quick Menu was on Ctrl and my Quick Chat was on Z by default.

Also, F1-F6 all bring up windows that are accessed through the ego wheel.

Here's one:
I bought a gun. I modded it, added 3 slots, didn't have the... whatever they are (credits? green goo?) to put the 4th slot in, though the option was available. I equipped it, thinking I'd just do it later. Unequipped it later, and the option to add slots was gone. My assumption: you lose the ability to add mod slots when you equip something. Thoughts/corrections?

"10. Remember this is a new game, a new idea, and Trion staff is only 150 people large "

150 development team is astronomically large. Most of the impactful and successful games of the past few years have come from teams of 20 or fewer.
