FULL joystick support ?

[Hertston]

In view of a couple of recent fiascos (Spaceforce: Rogue Universe and Dark Horizon), one question regarding this promising looking game. Out of the box, will TW have FULL joystick support; i.e can I plug in my Saitek X45 (or indeed any other HOTAS I mighht happen to replace it with) and a) assign joystick and throttle axes, and POV hats, as I may wish and b) assign joystick buttons as I may wish as with, say, Evochron Renegades or anything using the Freespace 2 engine?
