Sensor Manager

[Timmah!]

i hate it with passion. I am used to play Sins of a Solar Empire, where, in order to move camera, aside of panning, you simply zoom out as far as needed, to take proper view, and then zoom back in into action. I dont even need keyboard at all!

In Homeworld, you zoom out only to certain level, after which you need to press Space to open the damn Sensor Manager. Its especially annoying, if it will keep zooming you to certain spot, on which you focused before - but now your ships moved higher, but once again, you cant zoom far enough to see them and focus on them - without opening SM!

Basically, i find playing the game strictly from SM the least annoying, cause then i see everything and dont have to constantly adjust the camera to see what i need to see. Its not like the combat feels particularly nuanced that i would feel the need to zoom in to perform some elaborate micro moves.

I guess i was OK with this control scheme 25 years ago with HW1, but things kinda moved on since then, so should have Homeworld.

Not really. If you make the game more difficult by the virtue of making the control scheme intentionally ♥♥♥♥, then you are doing it wrong. People do want to play the game, not fight the controls.

Nebulous is free to make it any way it wants, even have the commands literally typed by the keyboard, if they wish. I dont care. Its not the game i purchased and paid 60 EUROs for it.
