you didn't mention it but one of the main reasons for using targeting control systems is so you can knock out the enemy's engines then dock and take over their ship
Thanks for this! I also found out that you can use the regular left and right arrows on the keyboard to select systems instead of holding alt. Makes it a little faster. Biggest problem I have is accidentally hitting F in battle instead of G for missiles, and then when you hit O to repair, instead you get camera mode.😅
#1 DO NOT use 3rd person view, stay in cockpit view. #2 keep your speed in the middle, combat is all about maneuverability. Keeping the throttle in the middle I guarantee you will be able to easily get behind the enemy and destroy them. use your A/D for turning and use your mouse for moving the ship in whatever direction you like. If you do this you will rarely need to use boost to get away from missiles.
The only important feature you left out is "thrusters." Thrusters allow you to turn on a dime. You can maneuver much quicker than using normal turning maneuvers.
@@IcebergGaming265 I did it with the technique of lowering engine speed to steer sharp and fire laser on the shields then ballistics to destroy the hull. Thanks again bro 👊.
Not done much normal combat but im in the sim and notice as soon as shields go down and hulk takes damage the systems loose power and it gets to a point where the ship just turns into a brick woth not weapons or thrust etc after having full pips to thrust etc
I’m doing the missions where you gotta repair the satellites and fight the space people everytime you jump to the satellite and I can barely get close to them they beam me as soon I go toward them. I’m level like 16 with the ship you get from the mantis and it’s still hard
Final crimson fleet space battle is kicking my ass. I literally don’t know how it’s possible to win. I’ve died 50 times. Somebody please explain how I’m supposed to survive in the razor leaf against 15 other OP ships. I’m lvl 30
its literally skill issue. if you dont invest skill points in the skill section, no thrusters, no easy lockon, no targeting zoom. they cant do this to me!! im just a ninja!! they gotta let me fly!!
I gave up on the ships, I just switch it to very easy and get it over with. I don't understand the building of them or the flight and fighting, and it doesn't seem to be worth learning. I've just stuck with the stock ship with the 2 attachments you need for a quest
I don't remember the exact number but I am pretty sure when I filmed this I was fighting around 6 ships at once and I beat them. Difficult but not impossible imo.
Great video, but my lasers last nowhere as long as yours!!!!! I get about 1 - 2 seconds before they run out. There is no way I can get behind the enemy ships, they literally spin around and fire at me. I couldn't ever match their turn radius either. Trying to fly my a$$ off but my shields are down in 5 seconds and I'm toast 5 seconds after that. Can never get past level 2 in the combat simulator. Very frustrating - no one would ever design something that flies as horribly as these ships do. So many other space games get ship mechanics SOOOOOO much better than this. (No Man's Sky makes this games mechanics look like they were created by ignorant children).This really makes the game unenjoyable. No reason for such poor UI.
I must be stupid, because this combat is nearly impossible. I have four ally ships fighting four enemy ships, so that’s 5v4 and the enemy immediately destroys my allies. I’m VERY EASY mode. What is the point in that. Lmao. And I’m sorry, but nothing in your video was at all helpful. It was all obvious.
As displayed on the HUD near the power distribution you can change the power distribution with the cursor keys. No need to ALT whatever.
Hmm, I remember trying those keys and it not doing anything...I'll have to try again because the alt thing is a bit awkward.
While the displayed option is correct, holding down the ALT-key while using the WASD-keys will distribute power as well.
But "whatever".
tysm i found all this ship fighting confusing. ill try with just the 2 weapons and the technique you used.
Let me know how it goes
The targeting skill reminds me of that fallout feature. Nice to see them pulling stuff from other franchises
Never played Fallout myself
@@IcebergGaming265 me neither haha that’s just about all I know about the game
Bethesda makes Fallout
@@ugateacher95 correct
Same franchise

Thanks for watching
for system select i made an alt key binding to mousewheel up and down now i don't need to take my hand off the mouse to do it
@@peterweaver7596 great tip
the great thing is it works on both my systems and the enemy ships (with the alt key)
makes putting power in the grav drive so much easier!

Great video, just what I needed, thank you 😊
Excellent glad it helped
Thanks mate the keeping the speed in the centre so i can turn made all the difference in the world lol appreciate it :)
@@Alfredo_47 glad to help
Thank you for the guide!

The ballistics tip really helped. I was getting destroyed and I think that was why.
Excellent glad to hear
Good tips I will try theme in my first ship battle which I am stuck in right now.
Good luck! Let me know how they work for you

Great tips thanks!
No problem!
Very helpfull Sir. Thx a lot.
Excellent glad it helped
thank mate gj on the guide
Thanks bro glad you enjoyed it
When you have targeted a ship, what CONTROL lets you switch between parts of the ship, such as engines? Many thanks for a clear tutorial.
I believe you have to go into the sniper mode I talked about to do that
How do you recover from an em hit when you can't do anything?
Not done much normal combat but im in the sim and notice as soon as shields go down and hulk takes damage the systems loose power and it gets to a point where the ship just turns into a brick woth not weapons or thrust etc after having full pips to thrust etc
Yes systems can get damaged, they will repair over time as long as you have at least one power pip on them
I’m doing the missions where you gotta repair the satellites and fight the space people everytime you jump to the satellite and I can barely get close to them they beam me as soon I go toward them. I’m level like 16 with the ship you get from the mantis and it’s still hard
Keep at it you will get it. Maybe level up a bit and get some skill points and try again?
Hit the satellite, then jump to the neighbouring system, chill, direct jump to the next satellite, repeat.
I’m having trouble with that mission to lol
Final crimson fleet space battle is kicking my ass. I literally don’t know how it’s possible to win. I’ve died 50 times. Somebody please explain how I’m supposed to survive in the razor leaf against 15 other OP ships. I’m lvl 30
Might need to get a better ship then I haven't tried that battle yet myself
its literally skill issue. if you dont invest skill points in the skill section, no thrusters, no easy lockon, no targeting zoom. they cant do this to me!! im just a ninja!! they gotta let me fly!!
You can't take the sky from meeeeee

Fair enough!
Space combat is such a struggle for me😢
Keep practicing you will get better
what does the number in the bottom left mean - 0/15?
Power remaining to allocate
Thanks for the tips but fighting 6 ships is nearly impossible
I don't remember the exact number but I am pretty sure when I filmed this I was fighting around 6 ships at once and I beat them. Difficult but not impossible imo.
nice video but how do i get space combats? sorry for my english
You just fly up to pirates
@@IcebergGaming265 yeea but where i can find them or are there missions for space fight
@@Lucazce you can find some missions on the mission boards in cities yes
@@IcebergGaming265 thx
@@Lucazce YW
enemies not talking any damage whatsoever I think it's a bug at this point. Also every rocket is missing
Missiles have to be locked on before you fire, also make sure you have energy pips assigned to your weapons
I needed this video a lot. thank you for the detailed strategies. PCs rule
Glad it was helpful!
Can't fast travel game crashes immediately
Thats rough buddy :(
@@IcebergGaming265 yeah pretty much any load screen crashes the game I've tried all the trouble shooting tricks.
Edit:
I didn't expect your answer 😄
So I simply say I was rude and I'm sorry😂
Eventually you will see the error of your ways
Response to edit: it's all good I took it as a joke anyway
I still can't win space battles, all I do is flee, bummer
Keep trying you'll get it
Get good
@@wouldbang6928 be nice

I'm not sure what your point is since you can use a joystick on PC but thanks for watching

I agree the UI needs a lot of work but I'm actually enjoying the space combat myself. I'm not really sure what you are talking about with a simulator
the ship combat is SO bad in this game
I am enjoying it but to each their own
Is ship combat bad or are you just not good at ship combat 😂
In my opinion the ship combat is the best thing in the game. lol
PC master race gimme a break
excellent - made me chuckle :)
lol
It's true. You trogs playing on consoles are inferior.
I’m playing on pc but use xbox controller
@@xrsphereyou’re a self hating master racist. KIDDING! I do the same!😅
PC Master race? really?
of course
@iceberg gaming theres no shame in saying the truth.
@JCDmartel how do you quicksave using controller? YOU DONT. 😜😜😜😜 its just not quick enough.🤡🤡
