Check your mouse sensitivity or lag. Camera Angle has never once caused me to self destruct... oversensitive mouse controls and overcorrecting is the culprit. Its supposed to be hard, otherwise C3PO wouldn't have freaked out about Han flying INTO the asteroid field. I find the challenge of weaving between the obstacles one of the more fun aspects of the game, especially when the Gunship thinks he can hide from me in a tight space.
....I want a full on asteroid field map, complete with moving and colliding asteroids... that would be awesome... or a map set in the aftermath of a great fleet battle, 5-6 destroyed capital ships with orbiting debri and periodic explosions and venting gas ...
