I'm still playing Cosmoteer. I'm surprised there hasn't been more buzz about this game because it's really absorbing, like no other game I've played in a while.
In fact, I'm having a pretty space-themed week since I also started playing Starsector. I'm not 100% sure if I like it yet. It seems pretty cool? I'm still in what's essentially the tutorial area so I'm not sure what to make of it just yet. Seems kind of like Mount & Blade in space. I just wish the ships weren't all so ugly.
I also want to get into X4, but I can't figure out whether I should play with a gamepad or HOTAS for the ship stuff. My HOTAS setup is pretty basic and not the most ergonomic... but does an Xbox controller even have enough buttons?
Bringing it back to Earth, I've also been playing a little Assetto Corsa. Had a pretty exhilarating hour-long race with 60s and 70s GT cars earlier, driving this thing.
I'd only be using the gamepad for flight and weapons - I think I can just about manage to map those onto a pad. Or I could use a stick, but I'm not sure if an aircraft-style throttle is ideal for something where you can fly in reverse.
Perhaps what I'll do is play through the tutorial with both control setups to see which I prefer.

Starsector looks interesting might try it out.
And Assetto Corsa (at least with a wheel) just feels clunky and the bots are tuned way too high. Maybe it’s better with a controller?

I can't imagine how hard it would be to find acceptable binds for a gamepad on X4 i use way too many hotkeys on M&K.
