As a player on a Nexus 7 tablet, I don't have much problem with the size of controls, but do wonder what people mean when they say vertical (or other) strafing....!

A major deficit for Android players though is that if you want to type a message or access the PDA you lose control of turbo and manouvre which is quite a drawback.

Would it be possible to at least have a "mini" PDA/keyboard screen option that left the bottom 1/4 of the touchscreen still available so that you can check nav/sensors or type whilst still turning or running away?

Loving the game otherwise

@The_Catman: By strafing, they mean translations. Moving sideways or up and down.

JHX, you can certainly try, but there's no guarantees it'll work. It did work in iOS 5/6 but Apple seemed to have broken the hidden APIs we were using in iOS 7 and 8.
