Glancing through the threads I get the sense I'd be better off using a controller, but I'd hoped to be able to make due with just the keyboard and mouse.

However, no matter how much I swipe my mouse, maneuver my finger across my laptop's pad, or press down on the number keys for movement, I can't seem to turn my ship at all. Other keys seem to work fine, and I can cruise in a straight line with the 'a' key, but obviously that won't help me much. I'm only as far as the very beginning of the tutorial mission of the first game.

Running this on Win 7. Any help would be very much appreciated.
