Star Wars Galaxies: Friday FAQ – Default Styles

This week, Q-3P0 talks about default keyboard layouts.

11.21 What are the default controls?
Although you will be able to remap any key and mouse button, we have set up what we consider to be the most requested styles. We feel the game is best played in the default SWG style, but we are aware that some players will be more comfortable with some established styles.
Our 4 defaults:

SWG style - uses type to talk and mouselook for movement. It maps most things to CTRL keys, supports a free and chase cam toggle, and has hotkeys bound to the Function keys.
MMORPG style - uses ENTER to talk and has a cursor up so uses the keyboard for movement. The left and right keys turn, not strafe. It maps the whole keyboard, and you can drop into mouselook if you want.
FPS style - is mapped almost exactly like the MMORPG style, except the left and right keys strafe not turn, and movement is controlled via mouselook.
ISOMETRIC style - is based on UO. It's type to talk, but assumes a cursor up all the time. Its mappings are just like the SWG style. We'll have the ability to drive with the mouse while the cursor is up.

Interesting indeed...but just what i expected.
Personally MMO style is for me, although I might try SWG style first.
