Okay, this is a future feature request, basically, here's what's up. I recently started using an HP Touchsmart computer, it has a large 24" multi-touch screen and is very powerful. A lot of things that worked without touchscreens were enhanced by the touchscreen, giving me the ability to use gestures in the browser for instance like dragging the page etc.
Many features as-of-yet-unknown (to me) about my OS were unlocked (win8)
One thing I noticed with darkspace, it perfectly supports touchscreen input, however there are two problems:
1: Small buttons, slightly hard to press, also addition of a "salvo"(spacebar) button on the bottom part of the screen would be nice.
2: Camera control, the game acts like my finger is the mouse, but when I touch the screen the mouse curser doesn't go away, it stays there but the game thinks I'm dragging so it spins the camera in circles.
If both of these could be tweaked (with a setup option in darkspace setup like "enable touch screen interface") it would make the game more interesting for us playing on a computer capable of it (also may open up the world to playing DS on tablets)
DISCLAIMER: I did not look for previous suggestions on this subject, because I am sure they already exist. I am offering a unique perspective and opinion on why/how it could be done.
