Mobile version: controls alteration

Oct 11, 2018 GoldExperience link
I'm new to the game and I've been playing with the mobile version, as a player of many mobile space related games is good to know that the controls are interesting and responsive, although the placement of the buttons may be a hassle to handle for new players, my recommendation is for VO to have a option to move the buttons and change then in size (like on a emulator for mobile phones) so any player can make a personalized hud so to better fit their needs

We don't have this built into the game, but there is actually a fairly extensive player-created plugin, called DroidButtons, which serves this same function. You can find out more about it in this thread.

Building on that, you can learn how to install plugins to your android device with this video, and with this one you can learn how to set up DroidButtons on your device. Hopefully that proves useful for you; happy flying!

Incarnate, that's actually the old thread that was locked at some point. The most recent thread is https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/16/27594 . However, this one is likely also locked.

Droid buttons is ok works great but the standard mobile buttons should be a little more aways from the edges of the screen...
Also if the left arrows were to be replaced with a joystick like button that could be toggled from original setup to up/down/left/right strafe that'd make using it wayyyyyyyy easier.

What do you mean by this, exactly? The left input controls are already a joystick field.

I think it's something related to using a particular skin which converts the left joystick into buttons. Iirc it was a mobile version of the NB skin.

The default is ofcourse a joystick.

Yes it's a joystick but the arrows always make me feel like I have to press them.

Anyways I rely heavily on strafe to put my ship where I want it and I strafe into shots to aim alot. The original setup works and looks good but a few size options and joystick mapping would perfect it.
