Darklight Conflict Tips:
One of the beautiful things about this
game is that it is extremely easy to learn the
controls, but very tough to master its
physics. The basic strategies are very simple, but
the combat is so unpredictable and chaotic
that you really have to develop an intuitive
style of flying. I do, however, have
some survival tips. First of all, the key to success is
managing your inertia. That means that
one hand should by on the Up/Down arrow keys
at all times in order to allow split-second
changes in thrust. You can even go into
reverse, which comes in very handy.
With practice, you will be able to pull off maneuvers
that would be impossible in any other
game of this type: although it is very difficult, you
can even do partial circle strafes.
Compare it -- loosely -- to a 3D version of Space War or
Asteroids (or Subspace, for those with
no sense of history) and you'll be on your way.
Special note: if your missile warning
siren goes off, all you can do is jink like a
speedfreak weasel and pray.
