KB & mouse controls

[Shaderunner]

It is very difficult to control / steer the ship via kb & mouse for me.
What am I missing?
Or is a stick realy needed?

Swap yaw and roll controls. Put yaw on the mouse and roll on the keyboard. It should make the controls more intuitive.

I use KB&MS. It is fantastic setup. And yes, I have YAW on the LM and RM, ROLL on A and D. Works fantastic... Q and E are left/right thrusters and W and S are up/down thrusters...

I selecter kb & mouse with yaw. Mous is set to yaw.
I feels impossible to follow and destroy the drone.

Roll and pitch will let you turn faster.

My bindings are:

a-d = yaw
q-e = left right thrusters
r-f = up down thrusters
w-s = forwards & backwards (speed control)

Mouse as default - left right / x-axis = roll

Or get a trackball ;) Those provide a much better way to control your pointer, though it takes getting used to them.

Thanx for the advise all, but it is not clicking for me. Maybe I am not made for these type of games.

You can get used to it, It was hard for me at first because i was used to Freelancer's way of mouse control. Trust me, roll mapped to mouse makes it so much smoother when you want to enter the rotating mail slot.

Practice landing first.

It's the entry way to the big starports.

And it's the usual places you can buy new ships. You can buy on planetside bases too but not all of them.

Good luck with that. Landing is more important than combat because you can always escape combat if you mastered landing with thrusters control. All your flying skills is needed in landing except maybe Flight Assists off.

Pfff, this game is to frustrating for me. Landing feels impossible and this wil take to much time for
me to learn and understand. Thanx again, but I am going to delete the game.

If you starting I strongly suggest you use advanced docking computer. It does the job for you... Landing can be very stressful at the beginning SPECIALLY if you get the landing pad right below the mail slot. It is impossible to land for new players... Apart from that there is no shame in using machine to do the boring job...

Yea buy the docking or advanced docking computer. I use it sometimes even though i can land any ship anywhere, erm... well maybe not the biggest ship on the most rugged planetary terrain.

Not at all. I use Q/E to roll, Pitch/Yaw is on my mouse axis, W/S throttle, A/D side thrust, Space/C up down/thrust, hotkeys for 0 throttle, reverse etc.
Flight assist off flying is tricky to keep steady with my setup but not impossible. Default bindings I immediately rejected. Find whatever that works for you.
