it takes 6 buttonms to control the manuvure of the ship and 4 more for energy management, all the ten bottoms are often needed(others are less often needed) That's a bit too much, which makes things even worse the player need to keep pressing on w to movebthe ship. Games like WOWS are slower paced and needs less button. Sometimes I feel that I need more then two hands to control fire, move and energy management at the same time, not to say view the surrounddings or move up and down to evade fire.
Perhaps the ship should always turn to the direction of the camera automaticly, or perhaps primary weapons should aim and fire automatically and players can just switch the target which left mouse botton and switch weapon with right bottom, or perhaps the ship should move automatically and w is used to switch between move and stop.
The mini map and other UI stuff also badly in need of improvement. As this game is fast paced and includes 3D battlefield, it is important that players can get the imformation they need quickly. For example the direction of allies and the enemies in their sight should be showed in the mini map, so that they won't rush into enemies after respawn, or move their camera all arould to find the attacker when attacked from behind. The battlefields of this game is more complax then those of WOWS, while its UI delivers much less battlefield information.
