Ok. I've made a set of aliases that allow you to instantly change your rotation speed. The way it's set up you can change between .8-1.7 x original speed in increments of .1 and you can also go to 1.75x.
The lower end of the range is somewhat arbitrary. If you go much over 1.75 your screen will turn faster than your ship. If you get far enough ahead the ship will start turning the other way.

Devs: I know this probably isn't something you were intending to let happen similar to turbo tapping. Unlike turbo tapping I think this could improve over all game play... so I'm posting here to see what other people think and what its effects on in-game fighting are. If it makes the game worse please get rid of it. Thanks,
-Eldrad

IMPLEMENTATION:
1) Copy the text bellow into your wgaf.cfg file, or into a text file inside the vendetta folder and /load 'file-name' in game.

2) bind +rCCW, +rCW, rup, rdown to keys of your choice. Ex. /bind MWHEELUP rup
+rCCW turns you Counterclockwise at variable speeds
+rCW turns you Clockwise at variable speeds
rup increases your rotation speed
rdown decreases your rotation speed


DISCLAIMER:
The aliases are messy. I didn't feel like spending more than an hour on this, so when I added some stuff I did it sloppily. It doesn't effect how well it works but it doesn't look pretty. If you want to clean it up feel free.

THANKS:
FireMage made one first. I didn't see his but I wouldn't have had the idea if he didn't tell me. And of course the devs cause they rock.

Hm... great stuff, just wondering what to /bind!
Please include some more information.

I've got left mouse, right mouse, and the mouse wheel bound... but q, e, + and - would be good candidates.
It also echo's what your current speed is... which floods your chat window = ( but once you have it running it's pretty self explanitory.

I don't use the mouse, so I think the mouse wheel is a good idea.

Cool idea, but yeah, I think it's a matter of time before the Devs lock down the console ship-control commands and break our fun.

I was sorta hoping the devs might incorperate it into the standard controls if it improved the game play.

Ok... I updated it so it now has an alias to make it either echo, or not echo.
Everything else is the same as before just now if you want:
/bind key togEcho


Oh ya... and it's even more messy than before. : )

I'm still a little confused. Do I copy the entire text over? Or just that top part?

That's nice Eldrad. Really nice. I have one too already, but I love it like a child.

Ummm copy the entire thing, or replace just what I changed... but make sure all the things that should be 1 line are. When I copied it I cut a few lines short by mistake.
