No, that's not what heisan213 means.
Thàt is an explanation on how you should setup your game, to make the new controls work.
(Which I insist is proof in itself that these controls are nowhere near intuitive, otherwise it wouldn't need the amount of explanations being put in right now).
What heisan213 wants, is an explanation on how to properly steer your ship, using those exact settings.
At least, that's how I interpret it, since I've been wondering myself after all my failed attempts to get my ship to go where I want it to.
Strangely though, I'm wondering why SS claims the controls were changed because players couldn't look around their ship while flying.
I was able to do that perfectly with the old system. With the new one, my ship always turns immediately into the direction my screen faces, regardless of how I set my game up.
Also, the old keyboard made your ship turn around its axis like any normal vehicle would do.
The new keyboard steering on the other hand, only seems to let the ship take on a preset angle from its forward axis, but no more. Which means you can't turn around the ship using keys only, when flying full throttle.
This causes me to be unable to look around while flying towards a certain point. It also means that in a fight versus several opponents at once, the screen just keeps turning around, following my ship, which makes everything extremely confusing very fast!
I have no knowledge of any real life car, boat or aircraft which is controlled in this manner. Therefore, I have no idea why this is supposed to be more intuitive than the old steering.
The old steering gave you everything in one easy package (apart from hover, but you don't need that at all).
The new settings seem to force you to pick only one of the possibilities: either ship control and your camera bouncing around, or camera control and your ship bouncing around.

Wait a minute...
Oh...^^ :mrorange: ^^
think before you say something, and yeah it's your own fail, then i mean the people that did come with the idea, will not say who, but if they do not like there own stupid idea, I do not care
The thing i think Daniah means is that the new system is stupid an pointless, while hover isn't.
For some reason, the admins want this type of steering, and so they shove their head under the sand and say that it's some kind of techical thing. They have used this excuse earlier.
As someone above pointed out, you hovered earlier when you was logging out, and thus hovering must be possible with the old steering system... which leads to the original question: Why use the stupid steering?

During this weekend the forum was down apparently for some users, same for me. But that has been now fixed and you should be able to post at forum again.
