General Discussion / Am I the only one having a hard time with strafe controls?
« on: January 20, 2020, 12:38:19 PM »
The combination of strafing, turning to face the mouse, firing towards the mouse, and the fact that the shields turn to face the mouse are all linked together is just too much.
Sometimes I want the ship to move sideways without having it turn. But then I can't shoot in whatever direction I want, whatever direction I choose to shoot at, it also turns the ship to face that direction.
In many cases it's ok, because the majority of guns face forward. But some cases like the high-tech battlecruiser the guns face sideways, and if I want to be able to shoot and strafe at the same time, my ship is forced to rotate as well.
It would be much nicer if you used Q/E to strafe instead of holding shift. Alternatively, holding shift should strafe but not turn the ship, and have another key for that.
