Space "Shooter" and not Space "Sim"?

Anyone else think this game may be heading towards CoD in space versus an actual space sim?
There is video of a guy sitting with his feet up on a desk beating fifteen levels of Swarm simply by moving his mouse. Using his left hand to scratch his butt.
Apparently mouse keyboard has ridiculous aim assist for gimbaled weapons making a joystick/HOTAS setup a serious handicap.
If Mouse/Keyboard FPS play is what this game is about and HOTAS users are at a detriment, I'll exit stage left and request a refund.

The whole mouse thing was from a very early release where in fact mouse was much easier to use instead of HOTAS. Since that time, that has been fixed....unless something has changed since the last time I played.
Let's party like it is 1863!

Ctrl+f sim
You simply can not say it was never billed as that. It is on the About the game page.
The worst part about this game is that people willingly tell others false information. No. We need to get the truth out there.
@Gruug The kickstarter text makes repeated reference to putting a Space SIm back on the map and the cheerleading chant is "Best Damn Space Sim Ever" which is oft-repeated by Roberts and various other guys at CIG.
This is what they do. They silence you. Don't let them silence you.
Wonder what my chances of a refund are.
1455 pages (or 43627 comments) on "Why controller X sucks and controller Y rulez ...."
Go ahead ... surprise me ... post something new ....
But HEY, ya know ... everyone is "being silenced".
Have fun
PS: @OP
Let me guess, you mean that video:
Which is a year old (5th Oct 2014) and based on a very old build and an outdated controller setup which is no longer working as shown.
They have deleted multiple threads from many people. Erillion. Do you trade ships for money?
Edit: Notice, they can not even reply without attacking. Everything you question is an attack on their precious little money maker, oops I mean game.
I have one ship - a Constellation.
Have fun
Sure thing, buddy.
Whenever possible i post verifyable information (dare i say the word ? ...facts...).
Or my personal opinion .. marked as such.
I have one ship - a Constellation. Never had more than that one ship. I do not (and never did) trade SC ships for money or other ships.
I am a subscriber and have therefore access to the "Den" forum and "Jump Point" magazine. Being a backer I have access to the official forums.
I am not working in the gaming industry. I am not employed by CIG or any of its contractors. And never was. I am not a computer gaming journalist, vblogger or streamer. I am not being paid for anything i write here at mmorpg.com ... not with money, nor with goods (like in game ships).
When someone posts claims and calls them "truth", I ask for proof and/or links to verify.
Any "truth" without proof is just a rumour or an (usually unmarked) personal opinion. And is being called a rumour by me or others. Is that what you name "attacking people" ?
Have fun
Dumping everyone that talks about the single most critical aspect to the game into a single thread titled some obscure "katamari damashii" is tantamount to being silenced or brushed off. Try and keep up.
Oh, and it has nothing to do with "Why controller X sucks and controller Y rulez" and everything to do with artificially putting one controller on easy mode with enhancements to simply capture a wider audience at the expense of game-play.
Maybe they should remove all of those HOTAS modeled in the game cockpits and replace them with mice and keyboards.
Have fun
So 43627 responses would indicate to most people that controller/FM is quite an important issue. Yet nothing has been done in almost 18 months bar a couple of dev responses and the short one-time round table farce.
That's called keeping silent and hoping the issue goes away.

"keeping silent" ? I do not think so.
Not to mention dozens of live twitch streams with directly answered community questions (which included controller questions). And a few community vs dev free for all battles.
If you go through the patch notes, you will also see that the controller balancing and optimisation is one of the prime areas to be worked on. But at one time they will keep a system as the final system ... and not everyone will be pleased, no matter which system they will choose. As you cannot please 100 % of a million backers at the same time, as their demands mutually exclude each other.
Have fun
Keeping silent on the controller/FM issue, not keeping silent in general Erillion... I don't know why you try to play word games so much.
It doesn't matter if they make tweaks in the patches if the tweaks continue a design that flies like a lame three legged donkey with weeping piles.
I love how this guy equates general comments as having something to do with the silly mouse arcade state of the game. Like being sent to the lame Katmarii thread is some cure all for our voices to be heard. More like a place to be side-lined.
Star Citizen: Mouse Commander
Hilarious yet accurate state of the game:
A lot has changed since then.
Its called testing and balancing.
Have fun
Please, do tell what has changes since then? Is IM still in? Yes. Is 4-axis "easy mode" arcade mouse play in? Yes. The video is just as valid as it ever was.
Go ahead. I am looking forward to it.
Have fun
