My fear too is that games can either be mouse emulating stick or stick emulating mouse. TLDR FPS-esque style mouse control ala Freelancer gives a distinct advantage in accuracy and field of fire to mouse users because the guns follow the cursor joystick users are pretty much stuck with forward firing guns while they wait for their ship to come around. So please either go with Joystick and Mouse, where mouse emulates a Joystick or step up now and donР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt even bother to implement Stick controls because in the end nearly noone will use it.

The other way around it is impossible due to hardware limitations to reach thea same performance with a stick that emulates mouse controls as with the mouse control using turreted weapons. The conclusion and at the same time suggestion towards Chris and the team is: While with some practice it is perfectly possible to perfrom just as good with a mouse that emulates the stick as a player with a stick. They then tried to even the odds by emulating the mouse control with the joystick (which was fail by design since digital joystick axes only send 256 destinct position signals, while modern mouse have resolutions five to fourty times as high). I think most of you will agree that in a competitive multiplayer environment having an imbalance on the level of control schemes automatically makes the control scheme with the disadvantage an obsolete choice. Now hereР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs the fatal approach Reakktor took with Black Prophecy as a reaction to those rather loud outcries about mouse control: They gave in and made it pseudo turret control which instantly gave a HUGE precision and possible firing angle advantage to mouse players over joystick players. But again in single player this isnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt a problem since after all itР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs everyoneР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs own choice how he faces the AI (that most times isnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt a real challenge anyways unless itР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs allowed to cheat letР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs be honest here). Of course this would for some people be an immersion breaker as the focus in what is important shifts a little away from maneuvering your ship towards pointing your cursor on a target and hitting LMB.

In the single player world all would be fine, you give them what they want and make even the hardpointed weapons into pseudo turrets that always fire towards the cursor.

As soon as the new kids, that never saw X-Wing and Wing Commander or any serious simulator for that matter, but started with Freelancer and X, jump in they will start to whine that the mouse controls are rather unintuitive, since they are used to weapons firing where the cursor points. Meaning: You have a direction indicating cursor, the ship will turn towards this cursor, the farther away from the center that cursor is the faster the ship will turn, weapons still fire towards the crosshair in the center of the screen. Well letР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs hypothetically say Chris and his team take the rather logical approach for a sim to build the game for joystick controls and implement a mouse control that emulates a stick. One might ask what the problems are, especially if youР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћre one of those Sim Fans that would never even think of using anything but a joystick to fly a plane or space fighter. What direction is mouse control going to be? Black Prophecy did a lot of things wrong in the controls department and IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћd hate to see Star Citizen repeat the same mistakes.

Here's to hopeР вЂќР вЂћs I see a lot of discussion about Joysticks and which one to use and how to map the axes, buttons, coolie hats and pedals I feel as with every newly anounced Space Sim the early community consists mainly of old school sim fans rather than new school shooter fans, thus the Stick seems the natural choice of control method for most people here.Р вЂќР’В¬oming kind of freshly with rather negative impressions from the overall fail that was Black Prophecy IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћd like to arise this pretty important question for the multiplayer part of the game. If anyone can solve it, its probably him. it seems chris wants to include freelancer controls 'without breaking the game' so he is at least aware of the issue. EDIT: the thread is really worth reading through, it is a thorough discussion with many good points raised and quotes of responses from the team.
