[X3:TC] How do you have your gamepad setup?

Hello guys,

I wondered if I could get some help with setup up my gamepad controller and working out what the best button layout might be. I am using an 8bitdo Pro 2 controller.

So at the moment I have:

Left stick: Strafe
Right stick: Stearing
Left click/left paddle: Brake to stop
Right click/right paddle: Boost

D pad left: Decellerate
D pad right: Accellerate
D up: Unused
D pad down: Unused

Select: Jumpdrive
Start: Side menu

Y button: Info/Auto pilot
X button: Target/Target nearest enemy
B button: Select menu item/SETA
A button: Cancel

L1: Roll left/counter clockwise
R1: Roll right/clockwise
L2: Fire missle
R2: Fire weapons

So the setup I have at the moment. It's a nintendo style button configuration but I've set it up as an xbox would be. I do have button that I'm not quite sure what to do with and it is very much a work in progress but I needed to start somewere.

If anyone else is using a gamepad it would be really helpful (and interesting) if you could also post your layout.

Thanks. :-D


Edit: Maybe I should switch L2 + R2 with L1 + R1. I just blew up my capped ship with a missile. Seems very easy to accidently hit the triggers. I could then setup L1 as something like Jumpdrive/Missle so missles don't get fired accidently. Also seems to be harder to focus on multiple buttons at the same time so I might put roll onto the left stick and not bother with the strafe drive. Trying to focus on many things while fighting just seems to get me killed. Or maybe I just need practice.

What's wrong with the defaults?
