This however is a little hard to do because when the games mouse pointer leaves the game screen (thus turning into the windows pointer) it doesn’t pick up my commands to pan the camera left, right, up or down. When I make the window fit the screen, left and right panning is solved, but up and down remains a problem due to the games window and Window it’s taskbar.Would it perhaps be possible for the devs or a modder to add a fix to these two small features into an already amazing game? Or am I just missing something that might solve what I’m looking to fix?
To borrow a phrase from our illustrious online comarades, “You’re doin’ it wrong.”
Well, aside from the fact that the arrow keys actually are more accurate for panning the screen altogether.
That said, you really shouldn’t be panning at all; instead, use the fact that zooming can be set to focus on the nearest object to the pointer. Instead of panning, zoom out and then back in on what you really want to look at. As a side-effect, you’ll actually have a better sense of spacial awareness of what’s going on around your focal point, and that can make a significant difference if you’re trying to manage tactical maneuvering outside of the fleet organization.
