Tracers don't consume power, but have a reload period - this will help you not overload your terrible starting power plant. You also very quickly want to get rid of your garbage utility laser and get either a Combat Laser or a Tracer, or both.

Feel free to ignore story missions until you are ready (although the first few are milk-runs for the most part).īeginning WeaponryI'm personally partial to Proton Torpedoes - they are extremely fast, cheap, and if you get close to a target, you can one-shot-kill a lot of early pirates if you deadeye them. Cash is a big deal! You want some of it! Head to the mission board first thing and pick up an easy delivery mission or a minefield cleanup, something that will let you ease into the game. If you started in any other mode, you don't.
Getting Started If you started in Standard you have a surprisingly great radar at the beginning, afterburners, and even some secondary weapons. This also works for things like points of interest. It's kind of a big deal and makes dogfights much more enjoyable and 3d navigation a ton more comprehensible for us humans. You can use afterburners to close the distance faster if needed. If you have any target highlighted on screen and you hold Autopursuit, you will track it and keep it onscreen, and manage your throttle if you get too close automatically. In gamepad mode, this is the Left Trigger, in M/KB, it defaults to RMB. Note that in Mouse Mode you can use WSAD to move as well, in concert with the mouse, which is often pretty effective.ĪutopursuitAutopursuit is great and we think is key to most players enjoying the game to its fullest. Try them both and find what works best for you. Mouse Controls If you ARE using the mouse and maybe don't have a controller nudge nudge, there are two different mouse modes available from the ingame settings - Virtual Stick, and Relative. Give it a try, even if you're on the fence! The combination of haptic feedback and separated axes with very small throw distance lets you maneuver easily and precisely, and rumble is great. For most players, Standard is probably the way to go, but for you oldsters like me with fond memories of starting a game with a potato and a laser, and scrounging for every last piece of equipment, Veteran is where it's at.Ĭontrols I know you love HOTAS, and maybe you think you love M/KB, but Gamepad is 100% the best way, in our opinion, to experience the game. Quote: Difficulty First things first, we really recommend that you stick with the first two difficulties for your first game - either Standard or Veteran.
