Knowing Which Controls To Use In Space Battles

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. Even though the first science fiction games were thought as of more of a niche market in gaming, the truth is that these well-crafted games are now appealing to many different types of gamers. By improving each particular feature of their games, designers have been able to create elaborate science fiction adventures that feature captivating stories, characters, and visual worlds. If you hope to excel with your character and achieve victory in each of the battles you must fight, you have to really know your game's controls well.

The majority of games that feature space battles are made for computers and therefore rely on the keyboard and mouse for most input. Game designers usually program several basic commands to the most convenient keyboard buttons. In the majority of cases you will find that movement and direction is controlled by the WASD keys or the standard arrow keys. If the WASD keys are used designers usually include 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 likely 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.

Certain gamers prefer to use gamepads or joysticks as opposed to just the keyboard and mouse. Space games that feature lots of futuristic space flight and battles may lend themselves to a joystick, for instance, because of its maneuvering capabilities.

There are many distinct types of input devices and keyboard shortcuts that you could choose to use in your game, but it all boils down to the fact that understanding the commands of your game is essential to managing your character's skills. In doing so you will have the chance to overcome even the most difficult space battles in your favorite sci-fi game, assist other players in cooperative play, and develop a strong character that can advance to the game's final stages.
