I am biased towards keyboard Try reversing the slide left, right, up and down keys and think of them as thrusters on the respective side of the ship. It gives the ship a kinda Asteriods-like feel to it. Here is my setup: Left hand keyboard: Right hand Joystick: Caps Lock(pinky)= reverse trigger= weapon 1 A/Q= slide right/bank left top= weapon 2 S/W= slide up/down rest are defaults D/E= slide left/bank right Space(thumb)= forward rest are defaults. It may feel kinda funny at first, but for me it gives great control of the ship by having all sliding/banking on the left hand and rotating up,dn,left, right on the right hand. A great feature of the game is being able to remap all the controllers. It would be great if you could also control amount of inertia from all thrusters or adding degrees of gravity for multi player games. have fun, --- John Marra jma...@ritz.mordor.com
