I just bought a gamepad(not joystick) and i was ondering how i could set it up to not only control my ship but also fire lasers and missiles and so on...I don't see it anywhere in the joystick setup options, which is how i set it up to fly my ship. Any help would be greatly appriceated.

Joystick/gamepad control was never properly finished. Your best bet would be using some sort of utility (the sort that normally comes with gamepads etc) to map buttons on the controller to keys on the keyboard. I've have thought.

I got it to work. I've got a logitech playstation style gamepad controller, and i downloaded this freeware called Xpadder which maps the buttons of the controller to press keys on the keyboard. It works in space and on planets. I havent found any bugs yet, but you have to reset the buttons each time you restart your computer. tottally change the feel of the game for me!
