You’ve also got to manage your cooldowns effectively so you can activate your ship’s special abilities at the right moment to blast or cripple the most powerful enemies, or just make a quick getaway. This Descent-style dogfighting is plenty of fun once you get the hang of it.Every weapon has both an energy and kinetic damage rating, so fights are mostly about switching between them as needed to knock down enemy shields or armor, spitting the occasional homing missile, dumbfire rocket, or mine as you go. Somewhat unusually, Everspace 2 definitely seems much better suited to mouse and keyboard controls than gamepads because of the number of inputs required to make good use of it, but the gamepad controls are certainly workable. This Descent-style dogfighting is plenty of fun once you get the hang of it and lets you do a lot of strafing maneuvers you don’t see elsewhere.
If you aren’t pushing a button, you’ll come to a stop (unless you disable your inertial dampeners, in which case you’ll keep moving but have to thrust to change direction). Having more recently played more traditional space fighter games like Star Wars: Squadrons and Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, it was a minor struggle for me to get back into this particular groove of flying: instead of opening up a throttle to move forward at a constant speed like an airplane, here your ship moves much more like a character in a typical shooter.
