So it is the beginning of the match and you have been ordered to defend a slowly moving rectangle rather then doing fun stuff like scouting and flying escape pods! Awesome! I can totally expect you to be on 100% alertness for the entire match

But wait! If I tell someone else to guard the harvesters ...

Once uponn a time a company that called themselves Blizzard made a game. They labeled it Starcraft. It was a game about making dozens of click per second to get your soldiers to do what you wanted them, and if you stopped clicking on them for any reason they would get turned into bloodstains on the ...

Once upon a time battles were fought with sword and sorcery instead of spaceship. Armies would carry banners around so that when soldiers get lost and confused during the midst of battle they can look at the nearest banner and say "Okay, I should be over there." Even the dumbest of peasants could ...

Little did you noobs suspect I was recording all of this.

Okay, I think it is time to bounce these type of questions back to you guys. With joystick control, I can make my craft do PRECISELY what I want it. Barrel rolls become easy - just pull up on the stick + rotate my craft clockwise. Tada, I am now doing barrel rolls. Can you pull this off using a ...

But good luck ...

I have 28 joystick buttons to work with (and two directional hats). That is far more functions then single-joystick users have. I can fire weapons, boost, side thrust, backwards thrust, set throttle output to '0' and push a key to forward thrust, drop prox/probes, vector lock, zoom in/out, view left ...

Joysticks. Plural. I am using two of them. Two different ones, even.

The T.Flight Hotas X is a 5 axis joystick. Assuming that is the one you have, YOU could make use of this feature if it was implemented. Just assign the fifth axis to side thrust left/right.

I am willing to bet some other joystick ...

That's for assigning the hat as either directional viewing (what's behind me?) or as buttons. Furthermore, it seems I can only assign one hat to each.
