OHEMGEE. Using dual joysticks is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than playing with KB + mouse once you start to get a feel for it. You actually feel like you have full control of your ship, and the immersion effect is beautiful. Only four hours in and was able to rack up nearly 90k points in a Vanduul Swarm match. (Next closest was ~35k). But, this was only possible because @evilbyte is a boss; he got me up and running quickly, and I would have been absolutely lost without his help. Thanks bro, +rep! Looking forward to some more!
