xpadder profile....? ....anyone? I would like to sit my ph4t 455 on me couch whilst playing this.

TIA

That would be pretty tough given how much mouse control there is. You'd have to rig something up so the gamepad stick would move the mouse cursor around. I think that's possible but it would really make it a pain to click on things, which you'll be doing pretty much all the time.

Other than the mouse, there aren't that many keys used in the Space Rangers games, although I haven't played the second game yet so I'm not sure about that one. Arrow keys scroll the view when you're in space, and I think there are a few shortcuts for talking with other ships or changing combat tactics. Mostly, though, it's all done by clicking.

Thank-you for replying, I'm working on a profile for myself. Probably way more trouble than it's worth, but I'm going to see it through (to the damn bitter end!) ;-)

peace

Why?

If you are playing Space Rangers 2, then I can't think of a single function in-game that cannot be controlled with the mouse.

If so, I would say just put your mousepad on your leg, and use your mouse. The gamepad idea just seems like it would be a convoluted mess.

Yeah, just to follow up... twas a mess... lol. ;-)
I DO appreciate your input, thanx.
Now looking forward to the HD version...

Not even sure i see why you would want to play this game with a pad. Freespace, i can understand. Space rangers...no.

Not even sure I see why you would want to respond to this thread.

Cause i mean it. I don't see the point. You're asking about gamepads, and i tell you it's useless with this game.
But maybe you'd like to enlighten me as to how you'd play with one ^^
