Just recently got started on this game through the Gear VR and absolutely love it. I am having an issue however as I have not invested in a controller at this time. Is it an error on my end or am I unable to select asteroids with the Gear VR touch pad?

Unless there is a better solution, when pointed at the general vicinity of an asteroid try typing the following arcane word of power into chat:

/radarnextfront

Don't forget the slash. If this works and there isn't a better way I recommend setting it as a chat macro.

P.S. if you are trying to mine an asteroid you may have to follow this up with "/+shoot2" or "/+shoot3"

Thanks for the idea. I'll give it a go a little later today. I should honestly just get a controller lol

The radar selection for the touch pad does nearest front enemy and is currently non-configurable, that's why you cannot select asteroids, unfortunately.

Unless something has changed, the DroidButtons plugin does support remapping the Touch-to-Target target command.

EDIT (11/10): It dawned on me that there have been some changes since the introduction of VR, and I don't know how DroidButtons will behave in it's current state with VR. As always, plugins are not officially supported by Guild Software.

Well they have nothing to touch...lol, it would be kind of hard being strapped to their faces.
