Honestly, this whole click thing is retarded, why cant we just set a heading ,
then type a new one or hit the arrow key to steer?
I find it annoying to keep reaching for the mouse or have to have my other hand on it.
The biggest issue for me is, and this is the real issue, is when you reach the end of where you set for course,
it doesnt just keep going in that heading, it sort of overshoots it and turns you,
sometmes quite far from the heading you think you are going, i.e headed SW, then look and heading dead south.
At least fix this issue, I'm sure a lot of people like myself don't rly notice it much anymore,
but would appreciate and notice the fix.

"It works" is not the same as "it is ideal for everyone." It serves no purpose to rudely shoot down suggestions. It's not as if he's asking them to take away the controls that you prefer to use. Then again, I'll grant you it was prickish of joshmon to start off by saying "this ... is retarded." Maybe he did deserve an admonishment.

but they do have a point. it would be impossible to use manual and steer the ship and use the mouse at the same time.

You don't need to do those things at the same time though. The mouse is only good for two things: changing your view and setting your heading. The G key already alleviates most of the mouse work when you're bombarding a target. If you could control your rudder with the keyboard and had a tiny top-down compass-style heading indicator on your HUD, you wouldn't even need to flip your view back as often while firing your guns.

personally i like the current system. once you get used to how much it "overshoots" then you can adjust your clicks and move on.

i don't think it could be better then it already is
you need your left hand on the keyboard allready alot for fireing aiming controling guns while manuvering
i say keep it like it is cause if you have to push more buttons you will get lost for sure

Why don't people just give a solution to his problem instead of just making fun of the suggestion?...


joshmon,
Your "problem" already has a solution in the game. "B" Key is your friend.

Once you set a course, press B and your ship will keep going in that direction until you give it a new waypoint to follow. This will solve your problem of the ship changing direction when reaching the end of your waypoint.
