Thanks to some helpful reviews and feedback, I've been able to address several UI annoyances, and made some input additions.
[list]
[*] Closing the steam overlay won't unpause the game with the pause menu still open
[*] No more negative health when you get wrecked
[*] Pressing back or escape will now go back 1 page instead of returning to the main menu during map/mech/pilot selection
[*] Misc UI centering
[*] Controller movement deadzones reconfigured - controller movement should be smoother
[*] New control settings option menu: two new options and view controls.
[/list]
[b]New option: Manual Rotation[/b]
Enabled by default, this allows the mouse or right controller stick to directly control the mech's rotation.
[b]New Option: Auto Recenter[/b]
Enabled by default, this affects controllers only. If enabled, you need to hold the right controller stick down to maintain the rotation you want.
