For a keyboard, you can hold down a pitch/yaw button while rolling to achieve the same effect.I am one of the few fortunate people able to get a copy of the FreeSpace 2 Interplay 20th Aniversary edition before Interplay encountered monetary issues and the copies became hard to obtain. You can also use it to pull of more complex maneuvers since you can change what the cardinal directions are as you roll - so for a joystick you can keep your stick in one position, but roll and create a harder target to hit while maintaining the same general direction of movement (essentially a barrel roll). As you practice more with a certain ship you'll find you're doing rolling instinctively to keep your target in a better firing position. It can also change the orientation of your weapons to someone you are attacking and depending on their profile and the arrangement of your weapons you'll stand a better chance of striking their ship with more of your shots. However rolling can change the orientation of your ship relative to an attacker (depending on where they are coming from) and thus change which shield facing they're hitting. I think most if not all ships are symmetrical in their ability to pitch vs yaw. Rolling has some, though limited, benefit. That is pretty much what I'm doing but I'm finding that having to constantly swipe the mouse around to do tight turns a bit of a pain.īy the way guys is there any benefit to rolling apart from looking cool? I also found the constant swiping of the mouse to be a pain - that's why I prefer my joystick :P.
I'm guessing that using the keys for turning might avoid my mouse issue where I knock stuff over trying to turn :-)
