IXS Prototype Craft Basic Controls

IXS Image While the IXS Prototype Craft is simple to control, its powerful propulsion and weapon systems need to be fully mastered to maximize your chances in your struggle against the Mon Saanti Empire. Here are some useful hints for basic ship control:

Use the left mouse button to fire your primary weapon systems. Hold the mouse button down for continuous fire. Use your right mouse button to fire torpedo salvos.

Be in control of your mouse movements. Try to avoid racing your ship all over the screen in jerky and fast motions. Rather, try to keep movements at a steady pace whenever possible.

The further left your ship is positioned, the safer you are. It might be tempting to attack enemy craft head-on to increase your shot accuracy, but that will often make it impossible to avoid enemy fire in time.

Along the same lines, your primary focus should be your own craft. Do not concentrate on what you are trying to hit, concentrate on what is trying to hit you! Survival should be your highest priority.

Finally, learn the advantages and disadvantages of your weapon systems. Visit the Tech Centre on a regular basis to receive updated information on how to use your abilities most effectively.
