So, I've been watching a few recordings and a few videos and I can't help but notice over the ages that I've played Starsector how out-of-touch it feels when I notice the cursor isn't a crosshair (of course when i'm playing it doesn't occur to me).
So I had an idea. Alas, just an idea, but one that could work for long-term?
When you go into a battle, fleet-wise, while playing the game and controlling the ship yourself, the mouse cursor turns into a crosshair, so it adds to the feel that you are indeed controlling the guns and their direction, with a bit more precision. Likely instead of looking at a mouse cursor's tip, as it feels currently. An option to enable the classic mouse cursor would also be a good thing so people can play with the cursor instead of a crosshair if they don't feel bothered about the cursor being the crosshair.
I never thought about it until a few minutes ago.
