There are options to change the difficulty, and help with aiming, but these only apply to the single-player campaign levels, not the multiplayer game, where you play competitively against other players online. On any difficulty and with any control scheme, you need to have very quick reactions as you move very quickly and often have to retain lots of different pieces of information at once.

You can disable cockpit shaking in certain scenarios, which can reduce motion sickness, especially when playing in virtual reality, but the fast-moving and swirling backgrounds, combined with bright flashes from lasers and screen-shake from other causes, means that it will always be a potential side-effect. As you play from a first-person perspective, some areas of the screen are taken up by your ship's cockpit and wings, which can obstruct action happening at the edge of the screen and could be distracting for some payers.

You can make ships hidden by objects have a bright, clearly visible outline, with a colour that differed depending on whether they're a target or an ally.

There are a number of settings specifically for when you play in virtual reality:

• Snap Turn allows you to choose whether to turn smoothly or in larger increments (which can reduce motion sickness) when in the hangar or a briefing room. You can also separately adjust the angle by which you turn (30, 60, or 90 degrees).
• FOV Filter allows you to darken the edges of the screen when turning in a hangar or briefing room, which again can reduce motion sickness. You can select the strength of this effect.
