We want yaw!

[WilLangford]

I've seen several "feature request" posts, but I'm going to keep this one focused. Yaw! Yaw! Yaw!

If you also want to be able to steer via yaw in space, reply to this post.

Aye, would be very useful indeed

[lucifer1101]

here ye, here ye LUCIFER WANTS THE YAW!!

[Xorgen]

I want yaw. For sure. I want everything that improves mobility and targeting.

Though, traders may object

[lucifer1101]

haha thats funny i am a trader

Actually it would open the doors for faster evasion from attackers.

YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want yaw. It allows for more creative manuvering.

I hear that the argument against yaw is that its less realistic. To this i ask, if a ship can change its axis to point up and down, why cant it change its axis to point side to side? considering that there is no air in space, i think that yaw is the same as pitch here.

I actually agree with this. Would make flying and fighting your spacecraft a bit more clever.

I'd also like to see mouse controll (if thats not already in the game) if yaw should get implemented.

Gliding and Warping with the mouse would be useful but that would be difficult to do with the menu keys in the game. Unless there was a button for turning it on and off like the mouse lock key on worlds.

it could be set as maybe the ~ key if you cant see it right its the squiggly 1 in the top left of the keybouird.

Pitch and Roll can be controlled with the mouse by clicking on the white bars in the reticle.Even works while on autopilot,which allows you to keep the darn thing from overshooting the turn.Acceleration can be controlled by clicking on the arrows at the top and bottom of the speed bar,but that doesn't override the autopilot speed control.

Oh god, please not that key!!
I have a german keyboard, you cant imagine how feggin hard it is for me to even get the console in Counter strike to open.

when configureable keys get finished you could easily set it up how you want.

on a side note, and to allow typing still, this would be nice:
num-pad 1 = straf left
num-pad 2 = tilt up
num-pad 3 = straf right
num-pad 4 = roll left
num-pad 5 = quickly stop all movement
num-pad 6 = roll right
num-pad 7 = turn left
num-pad 8 = tilt down
num-pad 9 = turn right
num-pad - = decel
num-pad + = accel

1 hand could control it all

[JasonX]

If you could remember all that.. XD Those contorls are not exactly coordinated

[zaroba]

look at the numpad, the directions are all on opposite sides of the pad. seems pretty simple to me.

8, 4, 6, and 2 are pretty much the same as the current arrow keys.
then just throw in straff and yaw

[Gavinbaisk]

Thats kewl except if your using a laptop so if you cant configure it yourself, maybe have a keyboard and laptop switch?

Perhaps the W A S D controls.. Like the ones on the current drellis

[zaroba]

chatting on drellis is a pain in the arse because of that.
