Space Battles In Modern Internet Games

By Rosina U. Stamm


The tough foes and creative worlds created by science fiction game makers allow space battles to be very difficult yet fun for players. Problem solving, creative thinking, and puzzle solving are each critical parts of popular science fiction games so there is no shortage of challenges for players. The toughest battles in sci-fi games tend to show up at the end of long and complex missions; not every enemy will present a massive challenge to your character. This is especially true of group based battles that take place in modern online games, such as massively multiplayer online role playing games, or MMORPG's.

Group oriented space battles are very different from one on one encounters since you must play a specific role in the group instead of diving head first into battle. In a one-player game, you have to rely solely on your own characters abilities and items when stuck in a fight. Certain games will sometimes add a computer controlled character to your party, but in most cases these are very limited battles and the other character has limited abilities.

If you were to apply the same approach you take in single player games to the space battles found in MMORPG's, though, you would certainly get frustrated quickly. There are battles so difficult in MMORPG's that groups of 5, 10, or even 40 have to be formed in order to take them down without absolute failure. You need to match your group and use a battle strategy that takes full advantage of your character's specific abilities in relation to the group; planning your approach to battle with the team is essential.

Most MMORPG's put chat windows straight into the user interface of the game so that players can always be in quick communication with other members of their teams. You can always keep track of what is going on with your team members during battle in games that have visual representations of your party members' status and let you know if you need to help them out because the enemy is coming down hard.

You will be a true ally for other players during space battles if you develop every one of your character's abilities and know how to use them well. You should always communicate with your group before, during, and after battles to ensure that you work as a team at all times.
