Overcoming Space Battles Through Wise 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. Video games in the science fiction category have been produced since the earliest days of the gaming industry; as time has gone on, these games have become more palatable to a greater audience. That is due to the fact that 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. 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 thus rely on the keyboard and mouse for most input. Game designers usually program several basic commands to the most convenient keyboard buttons. The arrow keys or WASD keys are almost always assigned for movement and viewpoint control. When 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. You might need to use your mouse in link with directional keys to keep your character moving and looking in the proper direction or to aim your ship's weapons. The mouse buttons are usually programmed 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. Space games that feature a range of advanced space flight and battles may lend themselves to a joystick, for instance, because of its maneuvering capabilities.

There are many different 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 be able to overcome even the most challenging 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.
