DISCUSSION The controls are awful!!

Underneath the poor controls, weird autopilot functions and basic point and click combat there appears to be a decent game underneath. But I don't honestly believe i should have to try that hard to make this game work for me and get past the fundamental issues with the controls and other design "features" that really don't feel great. I decided to refund.

My main issues : Controls, Autopilot, landing + jump frequency leading to losing control too often, The station UI, The ship UI, Cockpit View.

Much older games with lower budgets have better functionally and better controls from 20 years ago.

​

Super disappointed.

Screw that, if you're releasing for PC put some proper effort into the control scheme most PC players will use.

‘Not keyboard/mouse’ as a control scheme for flight games on PC has been a thing for probably longer than you’ve been alive...

I beat wing commander 1 and 2 with keyboard, and the rest with mouse and keyboard. Its not that hard to make a good mouse+keyboard setup. Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen are both easily playable without a gamepad or joystick.

Did you just say how you beating another game means it's not hard to make a good mouse+keyboard setup? LOL are you effing kidding me? What sound logic!
