Title: Orz ship controls?
Post by: Captain_Frumple on March 29, 2004, 11:31:30 am
Howdy. I played this game on the 3D0 many years ago and enjoyed it, but since it was a friend's game I didn't ever get a chance to get too far in it. Anyway, I am playing it through the Ur-Quan Masters and loving it, and found my old beloved race the Orz pretty quickly. I've figured out most of the controls for ship melees with the Orz, I can launch marines and so forth, but I seem to remember being able to rotate the main cannon. Am I remembering incorrectly or can the main gun be rotated in the middle of a fight? Thanks in advance, I tried searching for my answer but couldn't find one.

Indeed. The first fire button fires the main gun. Both fire buttons launch marines. The second fire button, pressed together with left or right, rotates the gun.

Aha! I was wondering why I had to press both buttons to launch marines instead of secondary fire by itself. Thanks a lot:)
