I have solved these problems already where I fundementally work with a 2D vec of desired velocity and a float for heading. I have a class that figures out how to make that work. With this approach I can achieve the feel (e.g. elastic bell curve on rotation) of what the ships do in the game demo link I sent.

Me personally I think one arcade drive joystick just like tank with some strafe buttons elsewhere... but I want to customize to what the driver wishes.
