Not every journey is that simple, though, and on many occasions, enemies will try to stop you in your path. Starfield's flight sim-like gameplay can makes battles tricky to navigate, especially for those unfamiliar with the genre. Here's everything you need to know to become a master blaster.\u00a0 Starfield flying and ship combat guide Be creative with movement Movement is a core part of any dogfight. Learning how to weave out of enemy fire and sneak up on targets will help you destroy foes with ease. Starfield ships move within a 3D space\u2014going upside down and looping around enemies are often viable strategies. There are acres of open space to practice flying before you start facing enemies. One thing that's hard to practice in safe areas is speed management. Successful maneuvers require your ship to slow down at particular intervals to manage bearings. Learning this key skill allows you to sneak up on foes as they zoom past your ship.\u00a0 Related Starfield Ship System meters explained: What does each gauge do? Make good use of your ship meters in Starfield Various ship functions in Starfield are powered up, in real-time, using power points. There is a deliberate shortage of these points that adds challenge through management and prioritization. There is a ton of other ships to encounter, each with various strengths and weaknesses, and you can use clever point allocations to exploit these weaknesses.\u00a0 The main functions of every ship include: Engine (ENG) - Each point makes the ship move faster. This is useful for weaving out of enemy fire and catching up to ships in combat. Shield (SHD) - Each point increases a ship's shield, its primary point of defense. Gravity Drive (GRV)

Learning how to weave out of enemy fire and sneak up on targets will help you destroy foes with ease. Starfield ships move within a 3D space\u2014going upside down and looping around enemies are often viable strategies. There are acres of open space to practice flying before you start facing enemies. One thing that's hard to practice in safe areas is speed management. Successful maneuvers require your ship to slow down at particular intervals to manage bearings. Learning this key skill allows you to sneak up on foes as they zoom past your ship.\u00a0 Related Starfield Ship System meters explained: What does each gauge do? Make good use of your ship meters in Starfield Various ship functions in Starfield are powered up, in real-time, using power points. There is a deliberate shortage of these points that adds challenge through management and prioritization. There is a ton of other ships to encounter, each with various strengths and weaknesses, and you can use clever point allocations to exploit these weaknesses.\u00a0 The main functions of every ship include: Engine (ENG) - Each point makes the ship move faster. This is useful for weaving out of enemy fire and catching up to ships in combat. Shield (SHD) - Each point increases a ship's shield, its primary point of defense. Gravity Drive (GRV)
