Star Wars DesperadosThe space travel mechanic occasionally provides an enjoyable diversion when you tire of sneaking into Toshara’s imperial compound. But oddly enough, the game seems completely uninterested in explaining its mechanics, purpose, and technology, instead leaving us writhing in confusion or, worse, missing out on the fun it has to offer.
Here’s how to make the most of space travel Star Wars Desperados!
What can you do in space
Most of us will eventually travel through space Star Wars Desperados Just to get to the next planet, which is the real heart of the game. Flight Through Darkness exists only as a very complex loading screen. But there’s a lot of fun there! It’s a good idea to spend some time in the Blazers’ captain’s seat.
Once in orbit, you’ll notice several points of interest on the map, most of which can be interacted with in some way. There are loot to be found, opponents to fight, and space stations to infiltrate. If you’re having trouble finding them, press R3 to highlight more details.
- shipwreck: The various sizes of starship wreckage left behind provide easy opportunities for eagle-eyed thieves. Around these derelict ships, you’ll find abandoned crates that you can blast open with your settler’s laser cannon to reveal the sweet loot inside in the form of points and resources.
- landmark: Like shipwrecks, landmarks provide the opportunity to obtain high-end loot, especially upgrade materials. You’ll need to be willing to fight enemy fighters, the occasional cruiser, and the debris field that usually accompanies a point of interest.
- station: There are one or two space stations (usually controlled by imps) in orbit around each planet in the game, where you can find high-end loot and stealth gameplay opportunities. However, missions may take you to the station before exploring.
- terminal: Assuming you choose to clear debris and landmarks – the factions and empire won’t like this, and they’ll likely send enforcers to your location. Visiting the terminal clears your desired level, allowing you to fly through the stars with ease!
Become a dog fighting champion
Space is a dangerous place. While you mind your own business, exploring the stars and looting remnants from various shipwrecks, you’ll find roaming pirates, factional starfighters, and Imperial cruisers constantly vying for control of the sector. You can’t avoid a melee. But you can end it early by learning to become an ace pilot.
You’ll primarily attack with the laser cannon, which has a much shorter cooldown than the backup missile launcher. Thankfully, the laser cannon automatically locks on to nearby enemies, giving you a clear target and telling you how far away you have to shoot to hit. But laser cannons take time to eliminate their targets.
Your missile launcher can quickly attack nimble starfighters, but only if your shot is successful. You can prepare the missile by pressing “A” (Xbox) or “Y” (PlayStation) on your controller to target it, then press the same button again to fire the edict. As long as you lock on to the target, the rocket will chase your enemy until it explodes or misses its target.
But don’t relax! After firing the rocket, immediately use the laser cannon or ideally the laser turret to continue to increase your advantage and shoot down enemies as the rockets spawn!
How to travel to other planets
Star Wars Desperados features four vast planets for you to explore, plus a fifth planet reserved for a limited story experience, each of which you can visit aboard your spaceship, the Trailblazer. But you can’t unlock your hyperdrive unless you dive deep into the game’s main story. To do this, you must complete the seventh story mission, “The Shipwreck.”
Once you’ve unlocked the hyperdrive and installed it on the Trailblazer, you can take off from Toshara. After entering orbit, right-click the controller’s direction key to activate the hyperdrive. You’ll receive a jump-able list of in-game planets, and you can choose any of them to visit next. Once selected, press both analog sticks to start jumping and traveling through space and time to the next system! Why not hit something at that speed? Don’t ask this.
Don’t forget to upgrade your Pathfinder
While not entirely necessary when exploring the orbit around Toshara, you’ll eventually want to upgrade your Trailblazer with more weapons, stronger armor, and better hulls and engines. You can still get into trouble around the game’s first planet, even more so when you use hyperdrive to explore planets like Kijimi and Tatooine.
Thankfully, every major settlement in the game has a spaceship mechanic who can sell you upgrades. As with speed car upgrades, you must first accumulate points from merchants or mission rewards and the necessary crafting components.
Once the upgrade requirements are met, we recommend focusing on engines, armor, shields, and laser cannons. They will be the most valuable improvements and will significantly increase your strength and survivability when piloting the Trailblazer.
Space travel in Star Wars: Desperados isn’t just a way to get from Planet A to Planet B; it’s a useful distraction that rewards exploration and can help you find the materials you need for your next upgrade . It’s also a great way to kill time while waiting Everything new in the future of Starfighter 2!
