===Gamepad is unplayable===
* While controllers are recognized by the game, it is difficult to use in game due to extremely high sensitivity and an inability of the in-game calibration system to properly center the analog stick. This results in random ship movement and unplayability.

{{ii}} Calibrating a gamepad in-game will cause control issues due to not reaching the corners during calibration.
* This problem is unfixed by in-game calibration or third party keybinding
