Is there any way of identifying a player emulating the game through BlueStacks on a Dev level? Like identifying active IMEI or SIM details? Mobile players are at a massive disadvantage when placed against these PC users. As a possible option for balance, is it possible to include controller support on mobile platforms?
Controller support has been considered in a future update but there is nothing currently in the works to incorporate it.
Honestly, I get more severe complaints from PC players because the game is not optimized for PC play so they run into various issues (Black screen, key-binding, connectivity issues, etc).
If they don't optimise their setting so it runs smoothly that's on them. They are just looking for an easy advantage.
Mouse dexterity is generally a lot more accurate than using a touch screen, but a controller could be a good combat tool. I'd be keen to alpha/beta test if it does become an option later.

I actually tried using bluestacks with controller support and it does work but you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get everything configured.
During the game's BETA it was an issue becuase every update would invalidate bluestacks the and controller key bindings so you had to go through all of the setup again. HUGE PAIN.
But I agree, keyboard and mouse is superior to touch-screen. Touch-screen is just more user friendly for the vast majority of the player base.
I would like to see PC though as it would allow for easier streaming for content creators.
I can't say I'm too worries about it being on PC. I don't stream, and I don't watch streamers. But controller support on mobile devices would suit me just nicely.
Besides, there are usb-c phone docks that allow mouse, keyboard, and monitor support so if they really want that option, it's there. Might cost them a bit, but again that's on them.
Now... First person VR support... That's a different story. That would be really cool to see.
If you really are keen on getting controller support through BlueStacks though, use the PS4 controller and 3rd party mapping. It's what I use for steam and it bypassed the launcher platform. Only the first setting was a bit of a pain, after that it's just a matter of opening the 3rd party software first.
All in all though this is a heap of fun. I haven't had this much fun with a mech game since Zone of the Ender's 2 or the Armoured Core series.
