Title: Ship rotation possible?
Post by: luehmann on June 21, 2012, 08:30:23 am

OK, probably the most stupid question, but I cannot find the answer: can I rotate the ship around the axis of flight direction?

Yes? Consult your in-game keyboard configuration (or joystick do-hickey) for "rotate left" and "rotate right".

Play with the numpad keys, two of them should do the trick.

I'm on my notebook now, with no numeric block.

Yes, thats what I was searching for with no success. "Bank" seems to be the right term. Solved.

Which reminds me, something I hate in WoD is when you fly the soldier ship you can't bank it inside of the enemy ship... makes it hard to navigate.

I've never got this problem during testing, it banked just fine. I play with a joystick though.

7 & 9 spin your ship on the number pad.

bind axis to bank, its not bound by default for some odd reason, or just use the ****ing keyboard.
