SpaceBourne 2 PC Keyboard Controls Guide

Have you ever stopped to think about space and ancient aliens? It is kind of scary to think how small and insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things (Maybe we are not alone huh?), but give it a try sometime. Think about all of the stars, planets, suns, and black holes (Sources of dark energy) there are outside of our own. Outside of what we can easily research, there is even more beyond the scope of our knowledge, perhaps even things we would not be able to understand…

While we wait for science to develop to the point that we can explore our universe fully, we have games like SpaceBourne 2 to fulfill our hunger for space travel. Burak Dabak’s sci-fi role playing game puts players in the suit of a completely customizable pilot/explorer and gives them free rein to explore & engage in whatever activities they like. Some of the options available to players are mining, trading, piracy, and deep space exploration. That sounds like fun to me!

Whether you dabble in some of these trades or focus on one, the primary goal of SpaceBourne 2 is to build a new empire in the universe. Any way you slice it, you’re going to need to have complete mastery of the game’s controls if you hope to do that. Thankfully with this SpaceBourne 2 PC keyboard controls guide, you can easily learn and memorize all of the game’s major functions. If you like, keep this guide open while you play so you can refresh your memory in a pinch.
