Hey there. Recently, I've felt a craving for a space combat sim, and was told to grab Freespace 2 as it's the best one around. Sure enough, it is - I've been having a lot of fun playing the campaign so far, and the game has aged surprisingly well (well, FSOpen helped a lot, clearly). Before I try my hand at multiplayer, though, I do have a query about controls...
The default controls feel very un-intuitive to me. What configurations do you recommend for Keyboard+Mouse? I'm currently using a 5-button mouse and have assigned to it weapon firing (mouse1 and 2), targeting hostiles (mouse3), and banking left and right (4 and 5). That basically leaves the keyboard with control of the thrusters/afterburner, more targeting, weapon loadout, and countermeasures - all of which I've currently left as the default.
I find myself scrambling over the keyboard way too often in search for the right keys, and I'm not married to my mouse controls either, in any case, so... any advice is welcome!
