Control

Control

Laser guns / ion cannons        KEY F9    KEY X The laser weapons can be controlled in the same way in every spaceship. There is an indicator at the crosshairs for each laser cannon, this shows which cannon is currently selected and whether it is ready (green dot) or whether it is currently firing (orange dot). A thick red dot means double firepower, a small red dot means single firepower. The condition of the laser cannons results in a different sound effect when you shoot this weapon. The charge level can be seen above the big "L" in the picture, all conditions above the middle setting will discharge the weapon. The middle state holds the charge, all settings below hold the charge. The charge of the laser weapons can be adjusted with the key "F9". You can switch the laser cannons together, so that all cannons of a ship can be fired simultaneously. On the standard keyboard layout this is the key "X".
Shield / Deflector Shield        KEY F10    KEY S The shields are different for every starship. Details can be found in the game's tech room. The shield strengths differ from the game Tie Fighter. The charge power of the shields can be controlled with the key F10. SHIFT + F10. The charging power of the laser guns can be set to "increased" and whenever they are fully charged press SHIFT # F10 2-3 times. With the key S you can split the energy of the shields to front / back or to front and back. The shield strengths of the spaceships are as follows: Spaceship Shield strength X-Wing 50 SBD Y-Wing 40 SBD A-Wing 50 SBD B-Wing 50 SBD Tie Fighter no shield Tie Bomber no shield Tie Interceptor no shield Tie Advanced MK/2 no data be around 80-100 SBD.
