A hotkey for waiting a turn would also be great here.  Lemme hit the spacebar to do that, or something.

Controls are great otherwise.

This already exists.

Sure, no problem.  Re: #2, you know you can use 6-9 to select them directly right?  Is that what you mean, or you mean something that specifically just cycles back and forth through the list?

Yeah, I like the cycling through the list with one key. This is a habit from FPS common controls (next weapon, previous weapon).

Ahaaaa, another occurance of me suggesting something before actually looking to see if it already exists, then....

Par for the course, I think  :P

Np Misery. :)

And understood, Cyborg.  Suggested default bindings for the above suggestions of yours? I don't have strong feelings on those myself.

Q and E are pretty much the FPS standard.

Really?  E is usually Use, I thought.  But I have no problem using those.

For whistle, R or F would be most convenient... although maybe too much so.

I'm going to remap them anyways. You don't want my suggestions for keyboard controls. I play on the right-hand side of the keyboard, whereas most of your titles are left-handed (WASD). I like the different sizes and shapes of the keys on the right-hand side for tactile feedback of what I'm pressing.

Cycling through exo's to select one seems like a bad idea considering it uses an action point to do that heh.

You wouldn't want to do it if you are under alert. This is easily controlled.

For the exos one I might leave that unbound by default, but I can certainly see the use of it.
