    I tried the training missions on keyboard, and was really struggling. Dug an old USB gamepad out of the cupboard and that was far easier.

    Have asked for a joystick for Christmas though

    I personally find this much easier with a stick. I use a FLY-5 with a few of the buttons, but several non-immediate commands (landing gear, lights, cargo hatch, etc) are mapped to the right side of the keyboard.
    The game even came with a full control profile for my stick, which was nice to see.

    However, I cannot fly for toffee using a stick in Star Citizen and greatly prefer M&KB. Weird...

    While the desire to be able to bestow gifts of Anacondas and weapons is high, unfortunately the means are disproportionately low.

    I can give you an anaconda, no problem - This is Elite: Dangerous, after all. I am OK to leave it on your scarf rack for you, yeah?
    An actual Anaconda, however... well, for starters, where would you put it?
