I'd like to try and get some love for us keyboard pilots - I've managed to get settings that I feel comfortable with, that allows easy flying and mouse look - for those interested I've included in the Spoiler below
What I would REALLY KILL FOR is the ability to programme keys to accept a SHIFT + or a CNTRL +
I.e I'd like for the ability to have say
Shift W & Shift S - Thrust up and down
W & S - Pitch up and down
Why you may ask? Well for keyboard players, if I'm in mouselook, I lose the ability to pilot my craft with the mouse (dub obviously) which means I'm reliant on the keyboard and I'd need to move my hand every time to control it. Having the ability to use SHIFT+ to do also control the craft would resolve this.
Please make it so.
The keyboard settings are based around a WASD and mouse combo, looking to prevent moving your hand from that position
W & S - Thrust up and down This allows for easy landing and control when docking as well as quick turning for combat
A & D - Roll left and right To be used in conjunction with the mouse movement
Q & E - Thrust left and right Again easy access to strafe left and right for landing and maneuvers in combat
R & F - Accelerate/ De-accelerate
1,2 & 3 - Panels
Z/X/C - Full speed/Full reverse/Stop
Left Alt - Mouse look
These are the main flight keys, others such as landing gear, scoop etc can be programmed to individual tastes
Mouse Control
Mouse Left/Right - Strafe This makes close control for combat much simpler
Mouse Up/Down - Pitch
