I really hope this gets more visibility. And it surprises me how many mouse users are either ignorant of this, or feigning ignorance so as to keep their advantage.

I chris want's war-thunder in space he should leave IM in. This is my first space sim and when Chris said epic dogfights in space I jumped on it. I love flight sims I love Sci-fi this was my dream,well unless things change looks like it will just be another arcade game not worth playing. What a wasted opportunity :(

Until Mouse IM is removed, all CIG will achieve with their 'balancing' is to destory the Controller Agnostic game they seek, instead creating a Controller Dependent system that is in complete opposition to what CIG and Star Citizen claim to seek.

Put the skill-factor back in the game!

We've seen this tried and failed with War Thunder. Those of us who pledged several years ago now did so to revive the classic space sim genre of the '90's.

Having been a huge fan of Wing Commander, the original promise of returning to the great days of old appealed to me more than anything. Interactive Mode is the single biggest issue in this game. Especially considering their advertisement of how this game will not give a larger advantage to any controller and they would all be treated and operate equally.

I would love to see this OP mode removed. Unfortunately most players support it because it makes them super leet at flying instead of requiring actual skill

IM is currently the biggest potential downfall of this game in my opinion (and many others). CIG should look for alternatives, there are so many viable proposals out there. The game should have depth and mechanics that everyone should have access to on an even footing.

I believe IM is a crutch and the devs are using it as an excuse to not move forward on fixing the issues with the flight model that cause the ships to not fly accurately enough to make other weapon types viable. Since most users are using IM mode they can just claim everything is working as designed and ignore how broken ship control is in every other mode. Unfortunately IM flying is extremely shallow and is mostly just point and click. It does no favors for the game as the core problems are being ignored as long as the crutch is in place.

Not only IM is a huge problem for balance but also dumbs the game down to the lowest common denominator. Get rid of it and stick to the original promises.

Remove the overpowered mouse buff. Remove IM.

Once the gimbal aiming portion of Interactive mode has been removed, then work on a better system for gimbal aim for ALL control devices and methods equally.

At least the mods can't shut down another site. -_-

Please make the game controller agnostic as promised from the start!

Interactive mode is completely skill-free and stupid

There is no way this could ever be balanced against other input methods. If the control mechanics are not the same, there is not a chance to mitigate hardware differences, everybody must use the same control mechanics to begin with in order to even have a chance to succeed at parity.

IM will ruin this game; it makes mouse and JS users play 2 different games in the same arena.

Signing this petition as furious that IM mode is still in the game. Coupled manual gimbal aim+flight kills balance and is ruining the game for mouse relative and joystick players. If nothing CIG should thin selfishly as their will be a huge metacritic backlash if this is not solved at launch.
