[4.20] FEEDBACK - Gesture steering VIVE Controller skins

[KMD]

I like the new gesture steering. It's very smooth and could be a nice alternative for a flightstick. The combination with the trackpad strafing is sometimes tricky and it happend multiple times to me that I fired a missile by mistake because some VIVE trackpads are too click sensitive.

There were good ideas for the unwanted missile launch like an empty slot in the missile carousel or a cockpit switch for attack/peace mode.

The VIVE allows styling of the controllers with skins. So why don't you give the gesture steering controller the visual form of a small silver model of the Albion Skunk? The ship flies the way you hold it and small arrows near by could indicate rotation and strafing movements by their size or opacity. This would be very intuitive and help players to find the neutral position. You could even show alerts or damages on that model.
