Let us change which side of a ship points to the cursor when strafing
« on: May 22, 2023, 07:33:43 AM »
I tend to avoid broadside ships because they're pretty incompatible with rotating towards the cursor (especially with omni shields so you can't even point the cursor to the side). Would be nice if we could somehow set the ship to point a specific side towards the cursor in battle. Even better if it could rotate the directions of WASD too but that may be asking too much.

Maybe add another hotkey for broadside-turn-to-cursor mode? With WASD interpreted in this perspective.

I'm fairly ok with using tank controls on Conquest or Odyssey, but it's still not same level of precision as with normal ships. And whenever mods try to add any faster broadside ships, they always end up absolutely uncontrollable.
