Camera controls and UI suggestions

from Sins Forums
Does anyone else feel totally disoriented by the camera controls? They are almost counter-intuitive, especially if you have played the Homeworld series for any length of time. The entire concept of having the world spin against the direction you are pulling is very foreign. If an option was put in to reverse the controls that would be amazing.

I would agree Kermut...the controls do seem a bit off to me. I think that the devs should play Homeworld 2 for a couple of minutes and see what they can do to make some sort of parallel system...that is, if they haven't already done so.

Camera speed and inversion options didn't make it into beta. They will be in the next version.

Kermut, I have to agree with you as well; however, this (I would think at least) should be an incredibly easy program fix. Just add a control option to invert Y axis and invert X axis

The controls are fine..its called adapting.

Yes, the camera is a serious pain.

Blair, Thanks for letting us know there will be options in the next (beta?) release.

That, my good sir, is very good news indeed.

I'm very impressed with the game so far...it's very scary that this is only a test beta
