Mouse flight or Keyboard flight

[WFCDefi]

Both,
Mouse for steering in fighters, keyboard for regens etc.
Keyboard for steering in caps, mouse for aiming.

I didsabled the mouse flight key and tried using just keyboard controls. It's not much difference in capships, and no problem at all with transports, since they all turn so slowly that you can use the left-mouse-drag and its basically the same thing as mouse flight. In some ways it's easier, since its less confusing (which mode am I in? argh switch modes to turn turret view camera! etc)

Doesn't work at all with my fighters or gunboats though. Targets move too quick to keep up with them using the clumsy keyboard.

Most important thing in fight is mouse and keyboard, only both will give you special performance. Otherwise you lost.

Why isn't there a joystick option?

The keyboard doesn't 'help' in combat, for efficient PvP, it's essential.

I could hardly imagine doing everything with mouse only, alltough it would be possible if I had like 7+ buttons on it. ;D

I don't understand the poll. And why are trade-runs counted toward non-combat?
