Managing your power systems might seem like a trivial thing that you can ignore, but I promise you it isn't, and you can't. These missions reveal that the Azzameen family are in heated competition with the Viraxo and are generally sympathetic to the Rebel Alliance. STAR WARS™: X-Wing Alliance™ ... All parties here are wrong :p (in terms of what is and isn't a viable control scheme). Unless you're just skimming through this thing in which case hey, heads up, that's another thing that the B button does.). And you'll need your targeting computer to tell the friendly blocky gray messes from the hostile ones. So for example, in TIE Fighter at the end of a mission when you fly back to your capital ship, it'll ask you to press the spacebar to dock and end the mission. Increase the laser or shield recharge rate, and the power to the engines will decrease and you'll lose some speed.

I stuck the rest of the controls for the targeting computer on the D-Pad, which is sometimes tricky since you either have to take your left thumb off the controls, or stretch across the controller with your right thumb. But it should at least give you some low-intensity hands-on time to figure things out. If this is your first time playing X-Wing or TIE Fighter and you decide to follow this guide, I highly recommend you go through some (if not all) of the flight school tutorials in the game. A thousand different video games will let you fly around in outer space and shoot at stuff, but how many games let you micromanage the rate at which your weapons systems draw power from the engines, huh? I borrowed x-wing alliance from my cousin but the case did not come with any instructions on the keyborad controls. But just in case, I also mapped a few additional commands if you want to use them: I might be misremembering, but I think there may be one or two missions in TIE Fighter that requires you to do that docking thing, so just be prepared for that. Trust me, you don't need them. A neutral family fights for its business and its survival and is swept up in the struggle against the encroaching Empire.

One thing I would suggest is moving the Zero Throttle control when holding the LT modifier to RT. Also intriguing is the fact that this will be the first game in the series to permit the use of the hyperdrive to move from star system to star system, as in the movies. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 - Part 02. All missions in the previous games were confined to action within a single system. Where is that, exactly?

(I would also actually swap it so RT is Full Throttle and RB is Zero Throttle). My original plan was to put them on the face buttons, until I learned you can't remap those. Oh sure, Luke Skywalker might not need a targeting computer, but that's only because he has the Force, the performance-enhancing drug of the Star Wars universe.

The player takes on the role of a member of one of the families, a family that has lent its support to the Rebel Alliance. He describes for us one of the prototype TIE Fighters, a ship that has two cockpits arrayed around one solar panel, an inverse of the normal TIE Fighter design.
