I have heard amazing things about this game and the lore but it looks daunting as fuck to get into and a bit intimidating.

Any tips for a newbie?

Just download Ur-Quan Masters and jump straight in.

It's not nearly as complicated as it looks.Simple RPG style exploration with Asteroids style combat. It's addictive and fun as hell.

Whatever you do, don't forget to use the voice packs from UQM!

Remember to adjust the sound settings so the voices don't drown out the music, though.

The hardest portion of the game is getting used to the ship controls. I prefer Starflight because it is much easier to control them.

It's literally the same as Asteroids.

After figuring out the shitty controls I have to agree with you. Nice maps and story though.

Well, uh, practise in melee mode?

There are, like, a thousand games with similar controls out there, gotta earn your wings somewhere.

Isaac, just play the damn game

The flagships controls suck at first because you have no thrusters or turning jets. It's fine later on.

Asteroids has realistic Newtonian physics. SC2 has unrealistic air resistance/maximum speed in space, which makes it much easier to control.
