Surface Pro / Tablet Support

We tablet users often have no mouse, which means no third mouse button or mouse wheel.  I've noticed some basic pinch-zoom functionality, but not being able to rotate the ships without hooking up a mouse is a super big pain.

Yea, I'm not sure what the right gesture would be for that.  As a Surface Pro 3 user, I am interested in doing more on this.

Just curious, what settings are you playing on and how are you finding the experience? I'd love to play on my Surface Pro, but I am skeptical it can handle the game.

My Surface Pro 1 handled a large galaxy just fine.   I tried an insane sized galaxy the other day on my Surface Pro 3, and I had to dial it back to 'low' graphics settings, and it was still kinda laggy/jumpy.    I expect that it should have enough meat before it's all said and done.  The SP3 is an I5-8g Ram model. 

 

@Frogboy:  Yes.  And the situation is exacerbated by the fact that the surface pro 3 doesn't have a mouse button for the track  pad, and the middle mouse wheel on the Arc Mouse doesn't function as a mouse button either.   I have to plug in a clunky mouse in order to play the game :C
