Key Rebind Patch (Introduced with 1.1.9g)
Greetings Commanders!
After being highly requested, a complete key rebind feature has been added to the game. It has 2 keyboard configurations by default, one standard for WASD and an alternative for Arrow keys. Currently it only partially supports joysticks, as some special features (like a crosshair for aiming without mouse) needs to be implemented, but it is already playable with it.
I would also like to mention that the alternate control system (Steering Mode), which lets you steer the ship with A and D instead of the mouse, is also operational. You can swap between both modes using Ctrl by default and see what you like the most.
When in Mouse Steering, you have the advantage of precise aiming for fixed weapons and you can do “barrel rolls”, but the ship will always turn towards the mouse. While in Keyboard Steering, mouse only controls turret aiming, and the ship will not turn unless with A and D.
Basically I would say steering with mouse is better for small ships while bigger ones could benefit from Keyboard mode, specially if you are a Dominance owner =)
Enjoy!
