It has rudder on twisting it too, so no need for pedals

Aurora LN is a good starting point, 300i if you're feeling snazzy.
Everything else is a bit OTT price wise.

No idea about joystick, but I'm also interested in what people suggest .

If you're gonna buy some 300i variant, then buy this controller: http://geizhals.de/saitek-pro-flight-yoke-system-pc-106994-a292296.html 

I'm joking, that is very specific controller but it would be a good choice if you're going to fly only 300i and nothing else.

If you want classic joystick, Thrustmaster T1600m is a good choice. Tor's Logitech is well supported but I've used that joystick in the past and imho bad.

I read somewhere (maybe here) that Saitek is working with CIG to bring a perfectly compatible joystick/hotas on the market.

Yeah, I was looking at the Aurora LN, but it looks like an oversized space grass hopper. I was also considering the Avenger

I think the logitech is amazing, and the best one in that priceclass without a doubt. Precise, stable, and responsive. 40 bucks for such quality is really cheap. You probably just had some bad settings in whatever game you were playing 

[Renay]

Yeah, that looks like a decent joystick. I think I'm gonna get that one. HOTAS are too expensive

Maybe one day when I'm rich Oculus Rift

The hat stick is great for freelook too, 8 way switch. No need for rift

Hey guys, am I missing something? My ship is still sitting in the hangar and all I can do is to fool around in the hangar. Can someone tell me what to do to actually play this game?

[Freland]

You need to equip the helmet and than sit down in the cockpit of the ship you want to fly.  Only the 300i, the standard Aurora and the F7A Hornet have been fully implemented yet.

[BattalGazi]

F.ck I don't even remember which ship I got Where do you get this helmet? Is it the fancy costume you can wear from that portal looking table?

[BattalGazi]

Looks like I have Aurora LN, does this work?
