I just realized how terrible the default controls are after installing Allegiance on a new computer.
Shift+Arrow keys to roll? Seriously?
WASD does completely unexpected stuff, considering most would expect it to strafe or change throttle.
Just saying, but if I was a noob, and not as stubborn as I am about giving a game a proper chance before giving up on it, I would have uninstalled the game 20 seconds after launching from a base.
Anything would be better than these default controls.
I complained about this probably 2 years ago and nothing got changed.
I don't care personally, I deal with it, but everyone I introduce to the game consider it on thin ice as it is, and the inability to have basic controls down pat just sends them on their way.
Yeah it's nitpicky of them, but it's not totally their fault that a basic thing like flying and maneuvering has completely terrible controls.
Is the train of thought "If they can't be bothered to set the controls, we wouldn't want them here anyways"?
PS. Not wanting to come across as some rude mouthy self-rightious know-it-all, this is just something that has been detrimental to the game for a really really long time, and I don't know how to get it resolved.
