Some troll once came onto the Master of Orion 3 Boards and asked if he could use his force-feedback steering wheel with the real-time combat

You know how cool it would be if you could fly the space ships? Wow
or something
then again I just want to own my own private spaceship... I have all the plans worked out in my head
of course, so does everyone else here, and its a moot point

I suppose you could make a mod...... where you could "pilot" one of the ships during combat... kinda like SimCopter? Dunno... I do like the view from the starmaps and tatical combat screen (I like MOO2's control on the combat screen too - but the screen need to be bigger.... like SEIV. hmmm...).

I think the key to this is optional... there are people out there that do not have good eye-hand control, but that does not mean that couldn't be a good general... (mind vs. brawn).... Compare MOO2 to Homeworld...

MOO looses.

You know, sitting at the helm of my WMG Worldship doesn't sound so bad.
