Wow this was super fun to play around with!

tutorial here: 

Finished mapping the Xbox Controller to the x, y, and z (aka: Pitch, Yaw, and Roll) as well as an adjustable throttle and controller sensitivity. 


Auto-Stabilizing -in my head, I thought it would be really fun to not have your roll and pitch stabilize, just like in real space. Turns out having a ship (in this case a box) that doesn't stop rolling is just unbelievably annoying and I added movement dampeners. 

Added a skybox, Used globe model from earlier post and some NASA photos for a background. Added particle effects to simulate movement and next I might be adding missiles and tail trails! 

As always, indispensable tutorials are as follows:

Physics:
Mostly I just used add relative force from the unity Functions library:
