Minor things that need addressed in beta

[Cyanide]

While i was playing PS over at a friends house I noticed some things that are somewhat annoying.

1) The scroll bars on the interface windows are pretty damn small, not good for navigating in high stress situations. They need to be about twice as wide as they are now.

2) My friends mouse is pretty sensative when in windows but in PS you can't even turn 180 degrees without having to pick up the mouse. maybe there's a way to adjust mouse sensativity in the game any i just missed it? Does anybody else have this problem?

3) What's with the inverted controls on the planes? It's quite annoying at first and slightly annoying once you get used to it. Again, maybe there's a way to change this and i missed it.

4) There's no cancel button for the login proccess (the one with the grey bar right before you start loading the continent). So if your connection dies or for some reason you need to stop the connection process you have to wait for a timeout or you just have to exit the game when you're finished login in. It's not that important, just one of those irritating little details.

5) There's no animation on the login screen to show you if the game is still responsive or not. If it froze during login you'd sit there forever unless you have some external way to tell if it's locked up (Modem LEDs or something). They should take a hint from MS and put some kind of looping animation on the screen so you can tell that it's still doing something.

6) Maybe i missed it but you can't turn off vehicles when you get out of them. I landed my galaxy in the VR training and the engines stayed on. It's not really that important to gameplay (unless the audio amplifier picks up stuff like that from great distance) but in my mind the pilot should be able to turn off the vehicle when he exits it.

7) If there is a way to zoom in in third person view i could not find it. It's really strange seeing your character from what seems like several hundred meters away. The third person veiw in the game needs work. I especially think there should be a reticle for the vehicle guns in third person view. Third person would be so much better for driving vehicles if there was a reticle to aim with.

8) The TR AI max has lazer sights on its arms but they don't even come close to pointing at the reticle. That just seemed odd to me.

edit:
9) Oh yeah, and all the controls mapped to the Alt Key should use some other key that isn't so ocward to press from the WASD position. Like things you would use in battle should be mapped to Ctrl instead of alt like the bail out hotkey and stuff like that.
On the whole though it's a great game when it's not crashing or lagging like hell.

I agree with you 100%

No... I dont have that problem. Just turn the sensitivity up, or something.

3) What's with the inverted controls on the planes? It's quite annoying at first and slightly annoying once you get used to it. Again, maybe there's a way to change this and i missed it.

Well, planes are meant to fly inverted... I think 95% of the people prefer it that way. But you can change it in the options.

4) There's no cancel button for the login proccess (the one with the grey bar right before you start loading the continent). So if your connection dies or for some reason you need to stop the connection process you have to wait for a timeout or you just have to exit the game when you're finished login in.

Another good suggestion.

Yet another.

Never really thought about it, buts its a good idea.

Yes, there is. + and - on the Numpad, I think.

Never used that one, but ill take your word for it.
