Winning Space Battles Through Smart Use Of Abilities

By Monte R. Reinger


Space games are packed with entertaining challenges such as gaining new abilities for your character, interacting with alien races, and participating in epic space battles. Science fiction games have always been well received amongst hardcore fans of the video game industry, but in recent years these games have been able to reach an increasingly main stream audience. That is because game makers are incorporating features that any gamer will enjoy such as complex characters, intriguing storyline, and captivating graphics that make you feel as if you were really traveling through space. One of the most important aspects of any game, from the gamer's perspective, should be the controls and learning to master them.

The majority of games that feature space battles are made for computers and thus rely on the keyboard and mouse for most input. Game designers usually preset several basic commands to the most convenient keyboard buttons. The arrow buttons or WASD keys are almost always assigned for movement and viewpoint control. If the WASD keys are used designers usually add other helpful commands on nearby keys such as Q, F, and spacebar.

Any space battles that call for the use of complex space vehicles will probably incorporate some directional commands with your computer's mouse. Depending on which type of game you are playing the mouse might control your viewpoint, the direction of your weapons, or the direction in which your spaceship moves. The mouse buttons are usually set for normal attacks and similar commands although many games will also allow you to alter the preset commands set to these buttons.

There are a few gamers who have come to be accustomed to using a joystick or gamepad and thus prefer these over the keyboard and mouse. Joysticks can be very beneficial during flight and battle in a science fiction game since they offer good movement control.

What is really important is not which type of input device you select but rather how well you use it and how familiar you are with each of your character's abilities as they related to battle. Having a knowledge of the commands will make you a better team member during cooperative missions and will enable you to defeat even the most challenging enemies with ease.
