Sorry, let me clarify that point - I do NOT mean mouse cursor aiming. I just mean a targeting reticle that circles the edge of the screen and moves smoothly as you turn, indicating your 'true' line of fire rather than having the ship's facing be the final arbiter of firing lines.Fossaman wrote:Now, as for cursor targeting...no. Please, no. If it was added on maybe one or two weapons, that would be fine. But any sort of mandatory cursor aiming system would make me stick to the last version of the game without it. I play transcendence because the battles are difficult. Adding in cursor aiming would make it feel like a slightly shinier flash game.
This would take no skill out of the game at all, it would just allow firing at any angle. You'd still have to line up the shot yourself though!
Ok. That's it. No more from me on this topic. Really.
