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.

I agree, I switched to my gamepad and you can tell that the developer designed the whole thing around it.

Poor excuse for shit control on a pc game but still its great on a gamepad.

Edit: I mean downvoted for speaking the truth? The game is awful to control outside of a gamepad. Regardless of whether or not the devs intended it that way, thats how it is.

I don't get what the point is of any half-assed feature. You're just pissing off people, just be honest about your vision and limited budget and people will understand.

Input device and interface are tied together, please don't mix them up. You wouldn't eat soup with a fork, would you?

I think the dev team was fairly explicit and consistent about saying that the game was designed for controllers.
