If you don't need adjustment for windage or elevation then this seems like the best solution to me.
My reaction to that can be best expressed here by Susan (at 8:28).

To keep the coupling theme going... replace the last bit with "I've got too many models"

I always read his posts pretending it's Chris himself defending SC like some internet forum ninja. It just works. More comedy value too.
So, P2D then?
ps: Too soon?
No, not too soon, currently, I am dissappointed with the progress (or seeming lack of progress). I only really comment on what I have to play with, what I have experienced for myself. The only thing that can change my mind is the game itself, and hopefully, improved versions delivered to my desktop.
Strike Commander. Might've been before your time but Chris promised a living, breathing world with groundbreaking AI etc - sound familiar?
A trickster never leaves a good trick untouched.
Yup, Naughty Dog are a world class studio at the top of their game
If there is anyone who hasnt played The Last of Us then do yourself a favour, grab a playstation and do so. You can thank me later
This and Read Dead Redemption.
Which is a shame IMHO, auto-aiming gimbals (with timelag to get on target, restricted targetting cone, balanced innaccuracy (wobble), and counter-measures against the auto-aim (chaff) - see ED gimballed weapons and how they work) would make the space combat much better. Manual gimbal aiming is something I particularly detest in Star Citizen - the zero-order control given to mouse users has put the gameplay too far into the "casual game" zone for me. So I try to play with HOTAS - which is a pain to get set up and tuned properly (yes, I know it's an alpha, but I've been waiting for this to be sorted for over 2 years)
This is my personal opinion.

Aahh yes - what was it they said about no mouse controls like Freelancer?
It was Ben Lesnick in some internet radio interview in 2013 - he said the controls will definitely NOT not be like Freelancer, but like Wing Commander.
What did we get?
Controls like Freelancer.

Don't know how much cash you have to spare, but you might want to try something cheaper first before investing in a full HOTAS. In case you don't get on with it. I started with one of these:

Then upgraded to an X52 pro. For the money it was grate.
Nah, CR's posts would include more personal attacks and a lot of ummm's, errrr's, etc.
Marking this down- Curious to see how much complaint there will be when this realise at 99%
Goddamn, those are two things I had completely forgotten.
1 - I played Strike Commander;
2 - CR designed it...
Good lord, I'm old...

Nah, it's quite good. I've experimented with it in Elite.
Right stick is Pitch/Roll, left stick is lateral and vertical thrusters, pedals for Yaw. Getting a usable throttle control can be problematic unless you're happy switching too/from the throttle/left stick all the time, or using the pedal's toe brakes for throttle (I'm too cack-footed for that).
Of course, in Star Citizen you really only need a mouse.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least - and a precedent has been set.
Still look on the bright side - not long till citcon!
Oh my, how DARE we have the AUDACITY to form our own opinions and not just submit to the "sunshine & smiles" marketing stuff, and believe that everything is fine and wonderful.....
Deliver something CIG, and please let it be good.

There is direct evidence of an obvious attempt a page or so back by a guy who has since been banned.
They basically talked about why SC was being attacked so much in this thread and that it's a wonder how it's been allowed to be left open because of the *blatant* moderator bias, unchecked bashing of CIG and SC and the forum users circumnavigating the forum rules....
Which is most amusing because most of his own posts where blatant trolling, attacking directly other posters (DSmart) and badgering! Hence why they got swiftly booted off the forum.
So the r/ds squad tried to get this thread closed.
They WANT to get this thread closed because it has dissenting views about Star Citizen.
Yo, r/ds?
This little sub-forum to a GAME that actually exists, is very playable and has been successful, isn't going anywhere.
You can print-screen this comment on your sub-reddit and rage away at my obvious disrespect to Chris Roberts and CIG.
I'll be just here laughing at you all.
Same guy who posted this also predicted that 2.7 will be renamed to 3.0 before anyone saw that coming
Certainly some thruth to it
