I've searched this section and I can't find this suggestion, so if it has been asked for already I apologise.

How about mouse control. The Archimedes version of Elite had a brilliant mouse control system. The right and middle button was accelerate & break, whilst the left was fire.

I know you only get two buttons on a PC.

I also think using a mouse would make docking a little bit easier.

What does every one else think?

really!?

Well now I feel stupid. I'm running it on my laptop and there only seems to be an option for keyboard or joystick. I'll have another look.......that does explain why I couldn't find it suggested anywhere else though....

Go to full screen, press shift-M.

I think it is enabled using Shift-M in full screen mode.

That's great thanks. I've been playing it in windowed mode. Let's pretend my suggestion was.....er......anyway of getting the mouse to control the ship in windowed mode?
