I would like to suggest an improvement on battle controls. Right now it is kinda clunky, I would like to see something similar to Battle pirates.

    How does Battle Pirates work?  I played War Commander before VEGA, so I don't understand what you're saying.

     

    I do agree on it being clunky though.

    yes, i agree that the battle controls are clunky, I have a very hard time with strafing, sometimes it works but most of the time doesn't. I would suggest that kixeye allowed  the left and right arrow keys be used for strafing and not the right mouse button, I know there's nothing wrong with my mouse. of course they could use the down arrow key for backing up

    Problem with using right and left for strafing is, that you can strafe at different angles, how would you tell your ships to strafe at an angle using just the arrow key?

    I like the combat,it's alot deeper than battle pirates. Bp is a no brainer for combat control not to mention weapon ranges extending around the whole ship. Takes alot more skill to play Vega and will make for alot more interesting raid event strategies too.

    Nothing wrong with the controls.  Up to you to make the proper adjustments.  This isn't BP or WC and hope that it will never be.

    learn how to use the controls properly there is nothing wrong with them and for saying want the same as BP why the hell would you want to make it so you needed a keyboard as well as  your mouse to play the game?

    f*** all of u guys. to hell with bp. VC controls are amazing and so much better. once u LEARN how to control them u can do so much more. it adds so much more strategy and tactics to the game. u cant just turn around n fire missiles backwards all day. 
    p.s. i am referring to  fvf combat in vegas u basically can.

    To turn a ship on the spot..... right click and draw an arrow just ahead of the ship. Wait till the ship is almost there, then release. Be ready with right click again to keep the ship straffing or going where ever you want it to go.
