I won't be making any additions myself (unless someone with the relevant skills wants to get involved) - I will be tweaking the underlying stuff though. I will be reducing the gimbal firing cones to something less ridiculous - I will try to implement fixed weapons, I will be also tweaking the ship thrusters so they do not move either and tweaking the various bits required to make it work with fixed thrusters.
All of this is of course, extremely speculative, but I've done it before with a CR game, so I see nothing stopping me doing it again.
I do not expect my mods to be included in the live PU

I look forward to your total flight model/control scheme conversion mod
EDIT
Then we just need to wait for someone to do a perfect replica of a millennium falcon
It's not going to be easy - I don't expect it to be a 'walk in the park', but I am bloody determined to show how it could be done to suit the kind of gameplay that I like. And yes, I will be doing it mainly for myself - but that's not to say I won't garner opinion and welcome the advice and the experience of others, but ultimately, as it will be my time spent making it, I will make the final decisions about what goes in, and what does not.

Your trolling hard when you talk about modding the controls of a unfinished game lol.

LOL indeed, I hope I don't have to do it. I'd much rather be happy playing it out of the box, than having to fix it first.
I can imagine it's gonna be a big job. And its not like you'll have 50 million, a fleet of developers and an sycophantic entourage in tow. But I have faith! And a lot of respect for modders given they've delivered some of the best game experiences I've had the pleasure of playing. I was recently playing Team Fusions complete reworking of Cliffs of Dover. What a piece of work that is especially compared to the broken game the actual devs delivered. Anyway I look forward to it. And of course, your spare time, your decisions. I for one wouldn't dream of trying to influence you.
Incidently, have you tried putting the search terms "mouse commander" into google?
Third hit is...
OMG I thought you were joking! Third out of almost 6 million hits!

Nice attention to detail!
What's that underneath the cockpit, on the outside of the ship, a horn ?

That´s a Constelation Aquila made for exploration so it might be a horn or an Parabolic antenna to get alien TV channels!
Could be an integrated easy access chip and pin card machine.
Then again maybe you're right, does look more like a dish, and football season's started.
EDIT
So Firemonkey, Mr. Nowak, Beuller, anyone. Serious question for you. This is an exploration ship. How do you think exploration will work in SC? The advert implies new worlds but this runs counter to what we know about the universe size, realistic scope for uncharted worlds etc. Apart from turtle waxing his Constellation Aquila, what do think an explorer will be up to? And do you have any concerns? Any question marks?

I personaly dont really care about exploration in specific but i love me some adventures, anyway if their are giving the trouble to make/sell ships oriented to exploring i guess they have big plans for it.
Anyway google got me this, you might get some answers: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/38624/exploring-exploration-in-star-citizen-what-we-know-so-far/p1
Oh, yes, that was so obvious.
A dish that points to somewhere-in-space satellites for TV channels!
Great immersion, I'm gonna like that.
Thanks for the link but FYI thats an ancient necro fan fiction thread.
It's funny how annoyed people must be of SC to do pages long of this
Exploration from what I know will be in 3 ways.
Exploration from what I know will be in 3 ways.
- First off in solar system exploration. Hidden asteroid fields, abondoned stations and space anomalies. Scanning these and trying to pin point them. Also found an uncharted valuable asteroid field? Keep the info to yourself.
- Secondly Jump Point discovery. This will also be hard to navigate first. Charting a Jump point and discovering a solar system. Selling charter information to the UEE or people.
- Thirdly landing on planets and doing on planet exploration. I expect not too big areas for this but pretty atmospheric stuff none the less. Finding artifacts or other races. Some dead spacey FPS action too.

Travis said yesterday that they will have procedurally genereated planetside environments for exploration... And Ben said somewhile ago that the exploration mechanics is still TBA/TBR.

Asteroid fields and procedural planetside exploration, presumably of known planets. Taking this approach I wonder what they could offer an explorer that wouldn't feel like mmo loot farming rather than exploration and discovery?
This feels like exploration of a sort, surveying at least, but just how much scope is there really for this? Were talking about a finite universe and hundreds of thousands of players. I've asked the question before because I've never got a good answer to date. They're selling expensive 'exploration' ships after all. Come on Mr. Nowak, you the self appointed font of SC knowledge, what are your thoughts?

This, I check this thread every day or 2 and its the same people, repeating the same things over and over again.
I'm going to be interested to see how dense SC is.
It's what, 30 minutes across at 0.2c? So less than an AU to a given sector, but still a phenomenally large amount of space. It'll be interesting to see how much empty space there will actually be.
One of the arguments you hear is that ED is full of 'empty space' (much as space is), but an area with the width of the distance from the sun to the earth (which it isn't quite, admittedly) is going to have a lot of empty space as well.
Very curious precisely how dense it's planned to be.

Chris or Erin mentioned DFP in an interview at gamescom and that they are happy to have programmers who have a lot of CE experience.
