Controller support! yes please! would be awesome to chill back on the sofa, watching movie while playing EU with xbox controller

if thats waht they mean?
IT is awesome. By the way people have been using controllers with EU now for years.
People also play Entropia without any devices at all... completely hands free, for years now.
Which is the future and what you will see here eventually. My beta AI can tell you most things about the game as you run around and tell it to use your different tools. "Kill it", "Loot it", "mine ore here", "extract claim" ect all you need to say to hunt/mine. It even allows for saying grats to socmates in soc channel without touching a key. Ive literally hunted while doing chores with a wireless headset.
I assume this is in the plans because when I asked MA about using this software 4 years ago, they were already using it for VR development. If this goes VR we would have to have a hands free option, and the tech is now here for it. The software is voice attack, and was approved for use by MA when asked directly. It provides the AI like voices (William Shatner+ some other popular actor voiceovers) for Elite Dangerous as well.
