Taking Flight
To immerse yourself in outer space combat properly, head to the Starfighter Console terminal for a short tutorial mission that covers basic space combat maneuvers. You can also travel through hyper gates between systems and planets.
Combat
Combat is fast-paced; blast foes with energy beams or ballistic weapons while using guided missiles. Each starfighter has a unique Ultimate ability which is limited.
