They freaking need to be.

Good to see them trying to spice things up a bit.

Any chance this would be possible with a joystick, where the joystick could be used concurrently with the keyboard and mouse? Would be amazingly useful for orbiting.

Looking forward to testing it.

My initial reaction was that we'll really need some kind of vector indicator graphic in the main window for when you are even slightly zoomed out, which is quite often in my case.

yes If i could set my route and just click to start and not have to worry about anything else on the way there yes please

I was debating with myself if this would ever be feasible. I'm astonished its almost here.

I'm not so sold on arrow keys for movement. Joystick is better, but I was honestly expecting a hotkey to hold and then ship follows mouse movement on screen.

Still not going to complain too much, as I too have been waiting for this for 6 years.

Since there is no "up" in space, Im interested to see if you will able to do back flips and thusly fly "upside down" to the rest of the EVE universe. Since at the moment all vessels are always pointed "up".

No up means actually upwards relative to the solarsystem not based on the roll of your ship. In practice it works out a lot easier to control but you won't be flying your ship upside down.

What is this CCP, making changes to core control mechanics based on NPE testing??? Who are You and what have You done to the real CCP???

Would be great if we could someday soon pilot our ships with a joystick where it's appropriate; I see this as useful in dogfighting situations while in many other situations, like piloting a freighter, dreadnought or even battleship, the classic mouse-click-control makes more sense.

However, to become more than a gimmick, it must be possible to also interact with the game world. If I can change my direction with a joystick but still have to operate the mouse to choose, lock and shoot a target, jump through a gate etc, then the value is quite limited.

Tbh, modernising EVE in such a way that real immersive piloting becomes possible, should have been done instead of Incarna. It's a goal that is much more attainable and also more useful for EVE.

That company did what star citizen tried to do, with less than half the budget, and made it interesting. their pace is scary fast. It's a new player on the block.
