Knowing Which Controls To Use In Space Battles

By Monte R. Reinger


Taking control of your own character, traveling through a science fiction world, and waging incredible space battles are some of the most compelling features of modern space games. Science fiction games have always been well received amongst dedicated fans of the video game industry, but in recent years these games have been able to reach an increasingly main stream audience. That is due to the fact that game designers 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. You can only take full advantage of your character, your character's abilities, and the incredible detail of these games if you are familiar with the controls.

Space battles that are waged as part of PC based games will require the use of the both the keyboard and mouse in the majority of cases. Most games automatically set certain commands to keyboard buttons that are convenient for play. The arrow buttons or WASD keys are almost always assigned for movement and viewpoint control. When the WASD keys are used designers usually add other helpful commands on nearby keys such as Q, F, and spacebar.

Any space battles that require the use of complex space vehicles will probably incorporate some directional commands with your computer's mouse. Many games currently link the mouse movement and directional keys together to help you better target your weapons or direct the movement of your character. Mouse clicks are often used for a number of commands in space games such as selecting which enemy to target or executing a basic attack.

Some gamers prefer to use gamepads or joysticks as opposed to just the keyboard and mouse. Joysticks can be especially beneficial during flight and battle in a science fiction game since they offer good movement control.

Regardless of which game you choose to play or which input devices you rely on, it is essential that you learn and master all of the game's commands and how they relate to your character's abilities. Having a knowledge of the commands will make you a better team player during cooperative missions and will enable you to defeat even the most challenging enemies with ease.
