gollark: But if you don't constantly have an internet connection to verify your license, you might use it with an expired subscription or something, which is pure evil and must be avoided at all costs.

For ship controls, you should probably have, if you're not going to have regular fixed-function inputs, at least the slightly reliable mouse/keyboard combination most things use.
gollark: This is just... trendiness?
