changedContinued refinement to the mouse steering system for those without joysticks. The combat in BSR is geared toward HOTAS control, but the game has a mouse steering system as well that I haven't been completely happy with. This update scraps the more math-based sensitivity ramp that the previous system had and now uses a curve-based approach. The increase and decrease in sensitivity when dragging the mouse gizmo is now much smoother and less dramatic. I'm not a mouse using space simmer, but for those who are, I hope this feels better. REMEMBER: The lower difficulty levels (Level1 and Level2) will lower the AI maneuverability and armor rating that will help when using mouse control.
addedAdded a new option in the graphics list, at player request, to toggle the ambient space dust if desired.
