I see lots of binds for ship controls but almost none for ground. What is the command for the manual aim? And crouch? If possible I would like a list of actions and commands so I can map my controller to my gaming style. Over all this thread has been a lot of help. My ship battles are less frantic key hunting and more actual ship hunting.

But a list of commands that can be bound for ground and ship would be nice. This way I can finish my controller map.

Oh THANK YOU THANK YOU THANKYOU!!!!! I've been pulling my frelling hair out trying to figure out how to make the damn thing work!!!

What is the software your using for the voice commands I would love to get a old of it.
(I can hear myself now)

hmm not a fan of a controller to play computer games like this, racing games yes, this not so much.. none the least it good for the players who do use an controller! great job

i must ask playing with a controller you do that in RPG mode or FPS Mode ?

I downloaded an app called Xpadder (costs 5 or 10 bucks, I forget) to set up my gamepad, it let's you bind whatever you want, including mouse controls, to your gamepad.

The process was painstakingly tedious, but eventually I arrived at a set-up that works for me. For ground I can literally do everything with the gamepad (I always plat in shooter mode). In space there are a few things I usually have to point and click, but I can fly, shoot, move the camera, switch targets, distribute power to shield facings, use all my BOFF powers and some of my captain powers without having to do so. I do have to manually click on devices, powers such as go down fighting, and to activate multi-vector modes on my escort.

If you, like me, are not used to playing games on mouse and keyboard, it is totally worth it. All depends on your playstyle, but I think customizing the interface to suit your strengths pays off in the end.

I don't have time to put it all in, but for example: I crouch by clicking the left stick, toggle shooter mode by pressing down on the d-pad, and enter "zoomed-in shooter mode" with a click of the right stick. The R1 and L1 buttons are R and L mouseclicks, repectively, so I shoot with those. I basically have directions on the d-pad (up, dwn, etc.) as they are, and each corner has a number. Numbers 5,6, and 7 I bind to "select, start, and L2" respectively, and R2 is spacebar. One of the face buttons is Alt, so with those number plus Alt variants I can map in everything.

I should stress that I came up with this on my own, it has nothing to do with the binds described at the start of this post. But in the end, I set up everything just as I want it, and it works pretty well. I use an app called Xpadder to map mouse functions and various keys to my gamepad, so as far as STO is concerned I AM using good old mouse and keyboard.
