Keep controls relative to Core, not camera

[Rokiyo]

When cycling through cameras, I would prefer it if my ships controls were not affected by the camera I happen to be looking through. In other words, I would like 'W' to always propel the ship in the direction the core is facing, regardless of what direction I happen to be looking in.

The way that the controls remap themselves to try and stay relative to my camera is nice in theory, but practice I am finding this surprisingly unintuitive (note: I am a new player, your experience may vary).

From what I understand, this dynamic remapping is also part of why mouse-steering stops working when looking through non-forward cameras... So hopefully we can kill two birds with one stone here?

I'd say the opposite is true. I've had free cam facing in a direction that it looked like a camera, and I get very confused when I press forward and the ship moves in a different direction.

but yes, mouse steering should get fixed with different viewing angles.

Should be an option somewheres methinks.

Perhaps on the individual camera if you can name them. It could be useful for docking-cams vs normal flight-cams.

Yeah, I have to agree with not affecting ship controls. I've been thinking of ways to dock large ships to space stations. Using a camera right next to the rail docker would make docking easier, but the movement controls should remain relative to the core. I can see mouse movement being locked and just thrusters when the camera is not front or rear facing.
