I've been wondering what method I will eventually try out for this game and I want to see what advantages they will hold. During Alpha I will test each of the methods available to see what is best suited for myself. How about everyone else? What are you thinking of using for Star Citizen.

If its viable, Joystick, ALWAYS. The simple reality is replication of true flight mechanics is best achieved with a Joystick, top quality one like Cyborg or Saitek if you have it. I am praying anyway. I used joysticks to great success in all of the wing commander and successive series, I hope its as viable.

I was also leaning towards a joystick. However over the years i no longer have one. So i recently purchased he Thrustmaster T160000M to test out the joystick features at alpha. If it works well I'll upgrade to something better if necessary. That is if its superior to the other options.

Link to joystick main webpage: Roughly $45.00 off amazon when i bought it.

Keyboard and mouse is what I used for Freelancer and Wing Commander so figure I will go the same route!

VR headset is the way

Star Citizen, the upcoming space role-playing simulator from Chris Roberts (creator of Wing Commander and Freelancer) is being built with Oculus support.

Good thing. Now you need a good seat on hydraulics to get even more immersion.

I really really hope they make joystick viable in this . I have a Saitek X52 that I havent been able to use since I bought it because most games mouse > stick


I will also have a Oculus rift for sure when the production models hit the market. At that point I will probably never leave my computer and become one with my desk chair
