Guide to Accuracy OXPs

Vanilla game combat accuracy

Before considering OXPs, there are a number of accuracy enhancers in the Vanilla game.

• Keyboard Precision Key - pressing the control key while moving will slow the turn and allow for more precision in so doing. Those who only use the keyboard often keep the control key depressed for the entire duration of combat. The precision of this can be tweaked. See Keyboard Issues.
• Joystick Precision toggle - the in-game Controller/Joystick Configuration pages allow two options. (i) one can select a button on the Joystick/controller which toggles precision turning (as above, but a toggle) - and whose action is indicated on some of the HUDs (ii) one can tweak one's Joystick/Controller axis profile for the same effect. See Joysticks: Guide to Setting Up for more on the above.
• Combat practice - the in-game Tutorial allows one to practice one's combat skills.
• TSME

OXPs enhancing accuracy

There are a number of OXPs which have been written over the years to enhance accuracy in combat. Some just target a missile at the target under consideration. Some let one know if the target is firmly held in the laser sights (so that the laser will not overheat for no purpose). Others take over control of steering to aim a laser accurately at the foe. Et cetera, et cetera. Yet other OXPs do other things (such as Telescope) but also include a combat accuracy option.
