Add controller support or allow me to do it.

[Kankaku]

I literally volunteer to make controller support for this game if the developers don't want to/don't have time to do it.

I believe making the game more accessible to more people will bring in more players.

I want this game to succeed, let me help.

Lmfao no. I mean actual controller support. I can add UI and Controller tools using the steam controller API functions.

Good one though!

Nice of you to offer.

Is controller not a massive disadvantage in a game like this - or is that an out of date idea?

While a controller really can't match the precision of a good quality mouse for aiming, especially if there's no aim assist option in the game, I'm sure a lot of people could do well enough with a controller that they wouldn't instantly die in every PVP fight.

There are also some players who can't play with KB/Mouse due to a variety of reasons (injuries, for example) and adding controller support would let those folks play the game, too.

It's a fairly out of date idea. I could add in slight slowdown when aiming at enemy players for controllers as well if they wanted to make it a more level playing field. They haven't reached out nor responded so seems a moot point anyway.

Pc master race dude. I'm an 90s kid and haven't used k&m for games since quake and unreal tourney lan around then. I don't care about having a little disadvantage to chill on my sofa with a game pad . Bought the game, uninstalled the game cuz no proper controller support. Why would they not be trying everything at this point with their dwindling numbers. Shame would love to play. Right up my alley. Been talking about a game able to board ships, space battle with my elite dangerous bros for years.

I would play this game a lot if they add controller support, i just prefer the feel of a controller. I thought they said full controller support was coming a long time ago, its kind of the only reason i bought it...

There have been multiple threads about controller support. In most cases SIG team members mention controller support is still planned. The FAQ also states controller support is planned.

I know but they have been saying that for a long time now, how hard could it be? They need to let this guy do it. He is willing and said he would do for free so if he capable let him do it if they are just gonna keep putting it off...

It has nothing to do with how hard it is. Adding controller support when they are not currently developing game for any platform other than Windows, meaning platforms that would require controller support, simply isn't very high on the priority list list.

They probably aren't going to let some random person they don't know, and who doesn't work for them, mess with the game or the game code, I know I wouldn't. Think about it.

You don't let a stranger hold your baby for the day even if they say they are experienced at babysitting. (sorry extreme example) but basically, if he really wants to, he can just go to linkedin and talk to Mac there
