I have yet to do enough hunting with the new controls to figure out how I like the configuration the best. I am looking for input on what you guys think is the best configuration and strategy with the new controls.
Any advice? What has worked best for you? What do you think is the most efficient set-up?
Thanks for your input!

I play the old fashioned way still 
Just different hotkeys-settings for social, skilling and hunting.
Im using old style aswell. But tend to shoot more often with F-keys, or rightmouse button. The new rightmouse button is awesome btw, never waste an extra shot on a dead mob in the end, since it wont fire at other then alive mobs. 
Yea i use the old style until the mobs run then i put the auto-follow/aim thing on and just wait until the shot is clear(like no mountain in the way) and fire. I miss less then.
I hunt the exact same as last VU… except with accidental fires when pushing a hotkey twice. sigh
same old buttons, but I shoot and fap with the hotkeys alot though.. for example if im in close combat and have to fap I just keep pressing F3 or F4 untill I have full hp ^^ and then F2 to shoot 1 shot then back to normal mouse clicking
But Prodiq, doesn’t the right mouse button still fire in the air?
I hate it.
If they changed right button to safety lock on mobs, it’s great.
What if your aim is not pointed at a dead mob, but just in a random direction without no target? Will it still fire? Cause I have huge problems with looting. I just put the gun away when I loot mobs.
I hunt old style and without mouse walking.
For shortcut keys:
F1: misc actions
F2: hunting weapons
F3: skilling weapons
F4: mining & tools
F5: dances
F6: negative emotes (angry, sad etc)
F7: neutral emotes (wave, good deal, point etc)
F8: positive emotes (laugh, giggle, blush etc)
F9: poses
Still need to learn to use those emotes more
Im still using the Old SKool Settings

No, the RMB now only fires if you have a mob targetbox aimed. And it doesn’t fire unless the mob is alive. So its just like the LMB, but you cant shoot unless you aim at the mob hitbox, and you cant shoot dead things.
This is if all the the options is not marked in options btw, other configurations might work different.
I have checked everything off except move to object when interacting (or what it says). Good if your lazy and you want to run towards the tt or auctioneer or mob
Remembered one thing:
When mining, drag the status bar from each claim rod. Then you can easily run from rod to rod by double clicking the bar instead of having to search for them among heavy vegetation.

It works for everything within radar-range (unsure of range though).

lol, that what I have been doing
Wow, this really simplifies matters. But it also takes something away from the feel of the game. Once you can have an option of auto-navigating to every object, you don’t do things manual way anymore. It… spoils you, taking away the … animousity.

When mining I have chat box at maximum size and half of the screen filled with PM… autonavigation is just convenience.
I’ve always loved PE for it’s simplicity (MB add a spell checker to this thing).
I like alot of the new stuff but the controls are becoming to complicated.
After spending 2 years tanking mobs you become accustome to your playing style. And the reload thing is anoying and slows me down. You know how damn hard it is trying to do fastkey switch when you use Mod Merc? (probably not) but it’s damn hard now cause the gun shoots so damn fast.
I got a Neocron account and after an hour I couldn’t figure the damn thing out so I just gave up. To complicated, so I gave the account to Skyrider.
PPl keep saying you can switch it back to the old way and I’ve tried that, still don’t seem like the old way to me.
Maybe I’m not doing something right?
faust mine is setup as pre-7.0 as i could make it.. its pretty functional..
just make sure in your options screen the ONLY thing with a checkmark is ‘RMB does something blah blah blah’ .. then its pretty much the same..
no you still cant change weapon while its reloading. ya pretty annoying
but otherwise everything is still 6.* for me. =)
