I was recently watching a video about a dude customizing his joystick for Elite Dangerous. He was using a 3rd party program that altered the sensitivity. CCP should spend some time/energy in improving the sensitivity settings on the controller. As it is now, it appears there is a linear relationship between moving the stick and the speed of rotation of the reticule. You have to choose between a slow turn speed and fine aiming, or fast turn speed and overly-sensitive aiming.
The solution is to implement control settings like in other FPS games. Destiny has a fantastic feel to the aiming and I think the sensitivity curve for DUST should be reverse-engineered from it.
Best PvE idea ever!

Pretty sure you're talking about aim acceleration/sticky hitboxes.

Every game with gamepad controls needs a customizable non-linearity setting. Preferably set to something else than purely linear input by default. |

For what it's worth, I simply cannot play Dust anything other than a DS3; despite how fragile the sticks are, they do have the lowest input threshold when moving and looking. 3rd party controllers make aiming impossible for me.

Let's say it takes that at 100% stick moment to the left you turn at a rate of 100 units per second. In DUST I believe at 50% of stick moment will rotate at 50 units per second 5% = 5 units etc. Other games don't work this way. It's still 100% = 100 units, but there is a sensitivity curve. So at 10% it may only be 2 units/sec, at 30% maybe it's 12 units/sec, but this catches up towards the end of the curve so at 90% it may be 80 unit/sec and by the end you still have the full rotational speed. That's what's going on in the software the guy in the video I linked is using.
It's not related to aim assist. Aim acceleration may also play into this, but it's a different concept. Aim assist would be like moving the stick to 20% and it accelerating the turn speed to 20 over time. In this case it's still a 1:1 ratio, but it takes time to get there.

This could be done by mounting a controller to a board, drilling a hole into the center of a joystick and inserting a long metal rod into the right stick. Fire up Destiny and use a capture card to time the rotation speed at different angles of the stick for different sensitivity settings. Throw the numbers in an excel spreadsheet and run a best fit curve to figure out what the sensitivity curves are for Destiny. Use those same settings for DUST. I bet a QA person could screw around with this and come up with the numbers in a 2-3 days.
Destiny had such a good feel due to a heavy use of auto aim. Though given I never tried it without auto aim on. |

You're right that Destiny had a strong AA (much too strong for DUST), but if you ever tried to aim at a random spot on a wall you'd see what I"m talking about.
