For starters, does anyone know if mouselook works for the touch area on the UI? If so, how does one enable it to work? I know you can't use a mouse on android, but does the concept of mouselook work on the mobile UI? If no, then I have a pretty weird bug here that I will explain in more detail if the answer is in fact, no, you can't use mouselook on the mobile UI.

It is possible with the Droidbuttons plugin. Set up an onscreen joystick for looking, set it to" lookX/lookY" Check MouselookX/Y. Make a button with the function "mlooktoggle", and hit that to enable mouselook.

Yes, but is there a way without Droid buttons?

No, mouselook isn't normally possible on mobile.

Well for some reason a few days ago, logged back into VO after the server restart, and I had to swipe in order to turn my ship instead of move it around like normal. (this is with the original UI by the way.) So then I went into my control options and then changed it to the mouselook check box instead of the accelerometer. I was moving my ship around again, and it was actually moving (just like on PC) with the mouselook working. I don't know how our why it started to work, but now it's back to normal. It was actually pretty cool.

You hadn't restarted the game before logging in after the restart? Or did the game update before you logged in?

The game restarted prior to logging in. The game updated before I logged in, yes.
