Star Wars<\/em> is one\u00a0of the most expansive science fiction universes in popular culture today. While many games focus on the Jedi, there is a lot more to experience in the galaxy far far away. This potential, combined with a well-done\u00a0CGI promotional short<\/a>, was one of the reasons why people got excited for\u00a0Star Wars: Squadrons<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While there have been other games that tap into Star Wars<\/em> space combat,\u00a0Star Wars: Squadrons<\/a><\/em> is the first in years to make it the main focus. Players take on the role of a pilot on either the Empire or the\u00a0Rebellion side and pilot several different ships. The battles are huge affairs that involve large ships on both sides, with players engaging in small-scale\u00a0dogfights. Ships are surprisingly maneuverable, although advanced maneuvers can be tricky. One of the least intuitive, but most useful maneuvers, is the drift.<\/p>\n

Drifting is an essential tool in any player’s arsenal. It can be a useful skill\u00a0for keeping on someone’s tail or for shaking another fighter\u00a0loose. Anyone who’s seen\u00a0Star Wars:<\/em>\u00a0Episode 4<\/em> or played\u00a0Star Fox<\/em> knows how deadly a tail can be, so this is an important move. The problem is, while\u00a0Squadrons<\/em> tries to explain drifting\u00a0in one of its first missions<\/a>, it still comes off as a bit unclear.<\/p>\n
