Worked a bit on the UI and the player input. There are two input modes: - Control mode toggled using CTRL. If enabled, your ship aligns with the direction the camera is facing. - Freelook mode enabled while holding ALT. Otherwise its an orbit cam #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #expanse #TheExpanse

Good space ship controls and UI are deceptivly hard to implement. I have two simular modes in my project as well. I think of one as the dogfighting mode and the other as the coasting / working mode

Hey, thanks for the comment! Yeah especially with the more realistic single thruster, newtonian flight modelling I need to find a good way to control all of that. I feel like the classic dogfighting (elite dangerous?) flight style is probably easier to do. What do you think of my attempts so far?

You are speaking my language. It looks great but can you zoom out to see your ship? Obviously l seeing the ship is a plus but also helps with parking and obsticle avoidance.
