The Advanced Pod Controller (commonly abbreviated as APC) is a wire entity that can be linked to any vehicle pod and then used by anyone in the vehicle to control wire entities such as thrusters or hoverballs by assigning their respective outputs to inputs on the APC that relate to the keyboard and mouse. The APC is especially useful to players who wish to allow others a chance to use their creations or for those who do not have a numpad, such as players with smaller keyboards and players with laptops.
