Joystick Deadzone
It would be really nice if you could set the joystick deadzone, even putting in a percent value or something. The game is pretty much unplayable with my uber-sensitive modified XBox controller, which is slightly off-center and near impossible to stay on center. I need to set the deadzone to about 30% when using it for other games. The lack of a deadzone makes it much harder to do some of the more complex things that you need to go straight for, like docking.
Another joystick improvement that would be really nice would be mapping an axis as a button. The XBox controller's trigger buttons are seen as axi (what is the plural of axis?), so I can't map them as fire.
On an unrelated sidenote, modding the XBox controller is a great way to get a cheap (free if you already have one) gamepad.

Hi! Yeah, I use a Playstation 2 controller (converted with a usb adapter rather than cable splicing ;) and there is a way to set your deadzone! :D
You need to edit the file by hand at this moment intime, its called config.ini and its located in your vendetta directory (usually found in Windows C:/Program files/Vendetta-online or C:/Program files/Guild software/Vendetta - Linux ~/.vendetta - Mac its inside the .app package) - open the file in your fav text editor, and look for your controller to be listed, heres an example from mine.

Hope this helps, and yeah, binding *other* functions to axis would be neat, the D-pad on my PS2 pad cant really be used for much, but would come in handy for targetting, ect :)
