Camera

From Unofficial Stars Reach Wiki

Stars Reach will support two unique camera modes: Free Cursor, and Fixed Reticle. This is no surprise since Star Wars: Galaxies offered similar choices for players.

Free Cursor

A common camera choice for MMORPG's, the Free Cursor camera mode allows players to freely move their cursor around the screen. Click anywhere on the screen, interface, or aim all from one mode. Hold the right mouse button and drag to pan your avatar's view, moving them in a direction with the WASD keys relative to the camera.

Fixed Reticle

A typical camera choice for first or third-person shooters, Ootherwise known as "Mouselook", is also available in Stars Reach. A reticle is positionined in or near the center of the screen for aiming, while the WASD movement keys function in a typical first or third-person shooter fashion.

Free Cursor mode tends to lend itself to building and climbing scenarios, while aiming a weapon or zooming lends itself to the Fixed Reticle camera mode.[1]

Between these two camera modes, players should have the flexibility to perform all aviailable activities within Stars Reach in one seamless and fluid system.
