Greetings All,

I have just d/led the demo and was playing some of it last nite, I
have already ordered the game & guide (thanx for putting out the
guide, I think they add a lot of info to the game experience for me
anyway) and I was wondering, is there a way to go to first person
perspective?  
Also, is the joystick support? (gravis gamepad)

The game looks and plays very nice, I personally liked the P1&2 and
Tacyon games where you can upgrade and customize you ship. 

Very well done Mr. Reid and thank you for all of these games you have
made I have enjoyed them very much! ;>

I think you're confusing him with someone else.  Chris Roberts would be the
standard confusion.

YES!
CTRL+V is the standard keymapping for it IIRC.

If you want 1st person cockpit? then you can press `Crtl-V` to get inside the cockpit - pretty bare
though it does get rid og the behind the ship look - the joystick support was never really the thing
they wanted to do but it may happen in a future patch if anough peopple warrant it and the game
lives upto the hype ... Zol.
