What control system would you like to see in a 3d / all terrain / rail free combat for space?
Personally, I would like to see your classic mouse controls with cross hair with a slight twist.
Space bar would be thrust and A S D W would control pitch and yaw of your ship giving you improved control over your ship.
A and D would control thrusters located near the nose of your ship to improve tight turns when used in junction with your mouse so you could hard yaw to the left or right.
D would be a thruster located on your ships undercarriage close to the back engine that would be pointed at a 45* angle forward and down, this would allow you to pitch your engine up and thus your nose down causing you to flip forward allowing you to either do a 180 or shoot at someone who was on your tail while drifting your original direction and or hard dives.
W would be a thruster located under the nose of your ship with the same 45* forward and down position which would cause your nose to pitch up so you could do 180s, shoot someone on your tail or take hard pull ups.
(just think the vipers from BSG)
What controls would you guys like to see in swtors future space combat (assuming its off rails ect)?
(in before joystick) Which is not to say that I am opposed to them. Joystick should be useable and would take the place of the mouse directional control.
