Rebind directional thrust to single keys (tldr idea at bottom of post)


STREALOK

Recommended Posts

as title says, i imagine this would be a tall order maybe even for a bethesda modding vet untill the creation kit comes out but putting the request up here since there is none yet

personally i absolutely frikkin hate how they've done space ship movement in regards to directional thrusting and roll maneuvers.

as it is now, roll is on A and D
while directional thrust is controlled by holding SPACE and using WASD

and that is just one of the most messed up, convoluted and f*#@y wucky ways i could ever think of to control a ship's thrusters...

TLDR:
best of all ofc would be to have new entries made in the options menu for rebinding on the individual basis.. however i imagine that could only ever be done after creation kit release if even then

so second option i can think of and would like is to have hardcoded rebinds maybe at best configurable somehow via some file somewhere in a text editor idunno, but to have it force rebind the keys to, for example what in imo would be best is: Q and E for left and right roll - A and D for left and right thrust - then last but not least CTRL and SPACE for down and up thrust.

wee rant:
i guarrantee if i could get these controlls that i am used to using in other space flight games into starfield that i would improve massively as a pilot, but as it is i barely ever even use the thrust cause it's just so f*#@ing clumsy for me to use and am frankly not bothered to get used to it and learn it just so i can fly a bit better in one single fekking game :q
end of wee rant

thanks to anyone who even looks into possibilities of making this a thing, iv'e not even remotely the modding skills to make this a thing :| :q hope ya'll have a good day!

so since writing this iv'e come to a deeper understanding of how the thruster systems work, this will ooh so most likely not even be possible to attempt until after the creation kit comes out if even after that.. it would take someone well skilled, well determined and probably someone experienced in modding bethesda games and even then i imagine it will be rather hard.. maybe..

when activating thruster mode by holding space, you don't just enable left-right-up-down thrust you also disable forward and reverse thrust entirely while holding space... if you want an example, put full power to engines, max out speed, then throttle down to minimum, and as soon as you hit minimum throttle (not speed) hold space and don't use w-a-s-d.. watch the speed go slack and stay still, then release space and watch the speed then continue to decrease towards zero where the throttle is set..... maybe this isn't as bad as i think it is. i hope it's just something silly, a silly design choice on whoever designed ship flight like how so many other things in the game are designed silly (although i think/feel that most of those silly things can most likely be attributed to having been rushed in development. wouldn't put it past bethesda...)
