Five Tips for Creating an Engaging Space Battle

spacebattles creative writing mass effect

Image by Bill Lile used under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0

Space battles are an important aspect of science fiction, especially space opera , and we want them to be engaging. At first blush, that might sound easy. Space battles have hyperdrives and torpedoes and lasers, oh my. How could that not be engaging? But it’s harder than you might think. Spacecrafts are complex and alien. It’s easy to drown your audience in endless technical details, fill page upon page with ships firing ineffectually at each other, or leave the audience wondering why the battle was set in space at all.

Fortunately, we storytellers are clever folk, and we have methods at our disposal for ensuring our space battles keep the audience on the edge of their seats. So strap in to your favorite spaceship and spool up the FTL drive. It’s time to explore some tips on keeping your space battle engaging.

1. Plan For Distance

spacebattles creative writing mass effect

I say this a lot, but space is big . Really big. So big that it’s difficult for our puny meat brains to comprehend. It’s also really empty, meaning that hostile ships will probably see each other from a long way off. This means that combatants will be engaging across millions of miles or more.

At those distances, the speed of light is no longer effectively instantaneous. It takes light one second to travel 186,282 miles, so by the time you see something happen that far away, it actually happened one second ago. At space distances, it’s impossible to know exactly where your enemy is. By the time the light * bounces off them and reaches your sensors, they’ve already moved.

This makes shooting difficult and calls for unique solutions. Ships in your setting might fire volleys of long-range missiles that can track the enemy once they close the distance. Or your ships might employ powerful prediction algorithms to guess at where the enemy is going to be and then fire at that spot. They might even sweep arcs of laser fire through the void like swords , trying to score a hit.

You have a lot of freedom in what options your space combatants use, as long as it has some plausibility. You can even use far more outlandish possibilities if you set them up properly. Your ships might battle by creating small gravitational singularities next to the enemy or broadcast mind-control memes via radio waves. What’s important is that your weapons feel like they’re designed for use in space. The vacuum is starkly different from any other battlefield, and unique weapons will help bring that home.

If you want a battle to take place at close range, you’ll need to set up a good reason for it. If it only needs to happen once, you could craft a scene in which two ships open fire as they depart from the same station. If you want close-range battles to be the norm, you’ll need a more robust explanation. Perhaps your setting’s FTL drives teleport ships directly to their destination, Battlestar Galactica style, which allows combatants to get really close to each other before attacking.

2. Determine Your Character’s Level of Control

spacebattles creative writing mass effect

A space battle probably won’t be your hero floating alone through the void. * They’ll be on a spaceship and fighting enemies who are also in spaceships . This adds a layer of distance between the combatants, and it affects how you portray the battle.

First, decide how much control your character has over the ship. This can be broken down into three broad categories.

  • The Character Is the Ship: This is for battles where the character is an artificial intelligence or a human with their nervous system wired directly into their vessel. They control the ship as if it were their own body and feel damage as if they were being hurt. The battle will be immediate, with no delay between the character’s thought and action.
  • The Character Pilots the Ship: In this scenario, the character isn’t part of the ship, but they control most or all of its functions. They decide where it goes, when to fire the weapons, etc. The ship is like an all-encompassing piece of equipment . The battle is still fairly immediate, but there’s a slight delay between thought and action because the character must operate the ship’s controls.
  • The Character Commands the Ship: Your character doesn’t operate any controls themselves. Instead they give orders to a team of subordinates. The character makes plans, but they must depend on others to carry those plans out. There is a longer delay between thought and action, because every order must travel down the chain of command .

Your character’s level of control will have a huge impact on how the battle is perceived. When a character is one with their ship, they perceive space as if through their own eyes. They “see” anything the ship’s sensors can detect. A pilot depends on display readouts, whereas a commander must often have data interpreted for them by subordinates, because there’s simply too much information for one person to handle.

Different control levels also influence a battle’s pacing. At the greatest degree of control, the battle will be fast and frantic, much like a sword fight , because the character is effectively fighting via their physical body. A pilot will have a little more time to think, but not much. They must plan each maneuver with only seconds to act, staying one step ahead of their enemy.  A commander must endure delays as their orders are carried out. Use this time to build tension while the character speculates what the enemy will do next and reflects on the cost of failure.

3. Use the Environment to Add Novelty and Realism

spacebattles creative writing mass effect

Space is an environment unlike any other. It is cold, and yet things stay hot for a long time because there is no air to transfer heat. It is dark but also filled with the light of many stars. Emphasizing the alien nature of space is a great way to make your story more engaging, because the coolness factor and the added realism will ground your audience in the setting. To emphasize the environment, use some of these elements.

  • Microgravity:  This is also known as zero gravity or weightlessness, but in absolute terms, there’s always some gravity around. * Thanks to novels like The Expanse , microgravity is becoming more common in scifi stories, but it still has a lot of novelty value. People move differently in microgravity, and things just float around unless something pushes them. Describing how a character launches themself across a room, or how their hair billows around them, will just sound cool. Meanwhile, describing all the handholds, straps, and special drinking vessels needed in a weightless environment will make your setting more immersive.
  • Acceleration: In space, the only limit on how fast something can go is the speed of light. That means for most spacecraft, it all comes down to acceleration. The ship that maintains greater acceleration for longer will have a major edge, but it comes with a cost. Acceleration produces a gravity-like effect inside the ship, and the faster a ship accelerates, the stronger the gravity. If the g-forces get too strong , they can injure or kill a ship’s crew. This is a great way to build tension: the ship accelerates to avoid incoming fire, but if it goes too fast, the crew won’t survive.
  • Inertia:   In an atmosphere , any moving object will stop eventually, either because it hits something or simply from air resistance. In space, this is not the case. A moving object will keep going practically forever, unless there’s a powerful gravity well nearby to pull it in. In your story, this quirk of physics is most likely to come up after a ship has been damaged so badly its engine no longer functions. At that point, the ship is adrift, unable to halt its progress, drifting into who knows what.
  • Radiation: Space is full of radiation. So much radiation that it’s one of the biggest obstacles to putting a human on Mars . A space-battle setting probably has some kind of reliable radiation shielding, but that can disappear once the hull is breached. Even more dangerous than natural radiation is the radiation humans bring with them. A nuclear torpedo or breached fusion drive can put the crew in serious danger if they don’t find shelter quickly.

Those are just four of the many options at your disposal. You can also have characters overwhelmed by the vastness of space  or create a powerful dissonance between the vacuum’s peaceful silence and the many people dying with each flash of a breached reactor. The important thing is to bring in space itself as part of the story, so your battle doesn’t seem like it could have taken place on land, sea, or sky.

4. Design Battle Tactics

One of the toughest parts of narrating a space battle is deciding what the ships do. Sure, you can write that they fire at each other, but without understandable tactics, that won’t mean a lot to the audience. A fight between humans is relatively easy to understand, but when space-faring vessels get involved, it’s harder to comprehend what’s happening. If your audience doesn’t understand the fight, they won’t be invested in the actions your characters take.

Fortunately, you don’t have to drown your audience in technical details. Instead, define what kind of advantage the combatants are trying to get over each other. For a low-tech example, consider naval tactics in the Age of Sail . In those battles, the main advantage was in keeping the enemy within your broadside, while staying out of theirs. This was simple in theory and incredibly complex in practice. It took a masterful knowledge of both the ship and the wind to maneuver properly, but a story about that period doesn’t need to explain everything. It just needs to show how the sail adjustment and weather reading allows a ship to get the advantage needed.

A story of space battles can use the same principle with different specifics. If your ships fight primarily with long-range missiles, then their tactics might revolve mostly around defense. Your characters would have to decide how to allocate their electronic countermeasures and point-defense fire. Do they try to stop every missile, or are they willing to let certain sections of the ship be hit in order to protect others ?

On the other hand, if your ships fight by sweeping space with laser fire, their tactics could focus on herding the enemy into a smaller and smaller volume of space, until there’s not enough room to maneuver properly. No matter the specifics, the important part is that you have a general method and goal that’s easy to communicate . That way, when the characters order a specific maneuver or firing pattern, the audience understands why they’re doing it.

5. Make Damage Matter

Finally, once you’ve figured out foundational details like distance and tactics, you’ve got to make this feel like a battle. One of the greatest weaknesses of space combat in fiction is that it can feel like two computer-generated objects are just flashing lights at each other until one of them disappears. In a battle, people are trying to kill each other, so it should feel like the characters are in danger . To do that, you must make the battle damage matter.

One of the more popular techniques in this area is to show how damage degrades the ship’s capabilities, making it harder for the characters to win the battle. This can work, but it requires that the audience have a thorough understanding of the battle mechanics in your story. Saying the main deflector dish has been disabled won’t matter much if the audience doesn’t understand what the main deflector dish did in the first place. Some storytellers try to fix this by having a character explain in the moment why losing the deflector dish is bad, but even that’s not great, since it can seem arbitrary or contrived.

Instead, you’ll get the best result if you first set up how the various components of your spacecraft work and then start taking them away. If your ships fight by lobbing missiles at each other, it’ll be easy to explain how the ship’s three radar dishes guide the missiles to their targets. From there, it’ll be intuitive that losing a dish makes the ship’s missiles less accurate.

A second option for making damage matter is to make it affect the characters directly. This is what Star Trek tries to do whenever consoles on the bridge explode, but you’ll want a method that makes a little more sense. * My personal favorite is to craft a setting where everyone wears spacesuits during a battle, so you can breach the hull without instant death by asphyxiation. Nothing makes the action impactful like a shot passing straight through the bridge, nearly taking off the protagonist’s head.

If it’s not feasible for battle damage to reach your characters’ location, you can still make the damage matter by endangering their friends. If you establish important relationships between your protagonist and some of their crewmates, you can ratchet up the tension by having some of those crewmates send a frantic call to the bridge saying how that last hit fractured the hull in their section and they can’t take much more.

And of course, if you picked a character who is one with their ship back in step two, you have even more options at your disposal. A character who inhabits their vessel can feel battle damage as a physical injury and react accordingly.

Like any other conflict, space battles follow the basic rules of storytelling. They need proper stakes, a strong motivation, a clear turning point, and so on. But space battles also have their own specific requirements. A poorly built one will seem distant and boring, but with the right techniques, the space battle can be a truly compelling piece of fiction.

Comments on Five Tips for Creating an Engaging Space Battle

The Lost Fleet series, Star Wars: X-Wing series, and the Thrawn books all have pretty involving space battles, and they do their best to get the science of it right (or as close as possible in the case of the Star Wars ones, which have to conform to the established onscreen material).

I would think it’d be pretty impossible to write a realistic space battle scene in a universe where space can conduct sound and ships close to within feet of each other before firing their weapons.

I have reached at least a couple of headcanon conclusions about the physics in the Star Wars universe. For example I think that time is Newtonian (thus avoiding a lot of problems with time dilation and FTL travel), and that empty space has drag, at least for small (non-planetary) objects, which explains things like the need for constant propulsion to keep constant speed, the way space fighters maneuver, and a few aspects of the WWII-style naval battles. And maybe the sound in space.

In one of the X-Wing novels, a starship is mentione to have a rudder for a “luminous ether”, which caused drag.

In EVE online the official explanation is that the ship’s warp core causes an effect similar to drag and due to its inner workings cannot be shut down entirely or else it would explode (which also neatly explains the ship’s critical existence failure upon reaching 0 hp – the warp core is breached, stops and everything explodes).

Too much of fiction, especially TV & film, ignores the realities.

“Buck Rogers” & the original “BSG” used to really bug me. Buck had a Thing that drove me crazy: aileron rolls that looked flashy, but didn’t actually change direction at all. That’s a great way to get killed.

“BSG” treated the Vipers like fighter aircraft. I know some of it was lack of money for miniatures & SPFX shots, but it would have paid to spend some for stock footage of the Vipers moving directly sideways, or vertically, or radically diagonally, or just rotating on their axis & shooting back.

The idea of predictors is pretty accurate. Space battles limited by STL are very like antiaircraft: the target is much faster than the gunfire, & predictors were around even before modern supercomputers. Now, calculating a target’s likely future position would take account of every bit of environmental data & dead-accurate estimates of the possible delta-vee (up _and_ down) from point of contact: human limits are fixed, but a given ship will vary. So intelligence on hostile ship types & capabilities will be worth more than platinum.

Probably laser (or EM) main battery would be secondary to guided missiles capable of enormous delta-vee & extremely high velocities, plus a variety of terminal guidance options, & high innate “intelligence”.

There’s also an issue of heat rejection. It might be combat is less an issue of hitting your enemy than making him generate heat beyond his ability to reject it. How robust are the radiators? How vulnerable to large delta-vee are they?

Are there any articles on gun fights specifically? I recall gun tactics getting mentioned briefly, but I don’t recall any articles going into details on that subject specifically.

I do have a worldbuilding article about guns, but nothing specifically about gunfight scenes. https://mythcreants.com/blog/six-ways-guns-change-a-fantasy-setting/

Thanks. I’d like to see that subject covered in an article or podcast episode if at all possible for you guys.

Creating a captivating universe is a fundamental aspect of any great story, and with Spacebattles, you have the tools to master the art of worldbuilding. Building a realistic and immersive universe is vital to engage readers or viewers on a deeper level, allowing them to be fully invested in your story. Whether you are crafting a science fiction epic or a fantastical realm, here are some key tips to help you create worlds that come alive:

1. Consistency is Key: When developing your universe, it’s crucial to ensure consistency in its rules, laws, and principles. Establish a set of logical and believable rules that govern your world, such as the existence of magic, technological advancements, or alien species. Stick to these rules throughout your story to maintain a sense of realism.

2. Attention to Detail: The devil is in the details, and the same goes for worldbuilding. Pay close attention to every aspect of your universe, including cultures, history, geography, and ecosystems. Develop unique and interesting features that make your world stand out, from breathtaking landscapes to intricate political systems. These details will add depth and richness to your universe, making it all the more captivating for your audience.

Creating captivating and relatable characters is a fundamental skill for any writer, and Spacebattles’ talented community of writers have honed this craft to perfection. Dive into their invaluable insights and techniques, and take your character development to new heights. Here are a few key takeaways:

  • Complexity breeds authenticity: One-dimensional characters rarely resonate with readers. Infuse your characters with depth by giving them a range of emotions, motivations, and flaws. Real people are flawed, and flawed characters are inherently more relatable and believable.
  • Show, don’t tell: Instead of providing a laundry list of traits, let your characters’ actions and dialogue speak for themselves. Show readers their quirks, strengths, and vulnerabilities through well-crafted scenes and interactions. This not only engages your audience but also allows them to form their own connections with the characters.
  • The power of dynamic relationships: Well-developed character relationships add richness and intrigue to your story. Explore the dynamics between characters, be it friendships, rivalries, or love interests, and allow these connections to influence the story’s progression. Building tensions and resolving conflicts within these relationships will keep readers invested in the characters’ journeys.

Creating compelling characters that stay with readers long after they’ve finished your story is an art form. By implementing the insights and techniques cultivated by Spacebattles’ writers, you’ll be equipped to craft characters that leave a lasting impact and make your stories truly unforgettable.

Spacebattles, the vibrant online community for fans of science fiction and fantasy, serves as a powerful catalyst for budding authors looking to unleash their creative potential.

  • · Choose a topic that interests you. Focus on the purpose of writing an essay, conduct research on the subject area, express the subjective author's point of view.
  • · Think of a plan. A logical plan is a key to success. Writing an essay provides a freestyle presentation. It is important to organize your thoughts and reasoning.
  • · The standard essay structure serves only as a basis for work. The sentences are connected by a logical chain. At the end of a small conclusion. A well-written essay is characterized by internal semantic unity. This is the paradox of this style of presentation.
  • · Formulate the main thesis of the work. This is a key statement, a message that should be concise and complete.
  • · The essay welcomes a publicist presentation without scientific content. The style of presentation should be lively and emotional. Do not "pour water", ignoring the rules of spelling and punctuation. Be sure to provide arguments to support your position.
  • · Avoid slang, templates, abbreviations, and allegories that are incomprehensible to a wide audience. Familiarity with readers is unacceptable. The thoughts expressed must be taken seriously. This is important for expressing the personal position of the author.
  • · Re-read what was written, make sure that the logic of the story is followed. Check the text for logical and punctuation errors.

  • Introduction. The performer is faced with a difficult task — to interest the reader, to "wake up" interest in the issue under consideration. ·
  • Main. The author substantiates his view of the problem, selects theses, and gives them explanations. ·
  • Conclusion. Here the results are summed up, general conclusions are drawn. ·
  • relevance of the topic; ·
  • subjectivity (no need to prove that this opinion is the only correct one, you just need to describe it in detail); ·
  • specificity (one topic or question is being studied); ·
  • unity of meaning (all parts of the text must be interconnected); ·
  • brevity (the volume of work is usually from 3 to 5 pages). ·
  • · Insufficient verification. Before submitting a project, it is recommended to proofread the work several times, checking sentence structure, spelling, etc. The style of written speech should be literate, understandable, without ornate presentations.
  • · Lengthy intro. In a good essay, the introductory part should include statements backed up by arguments that emphasize the importance of the project.
  • · A large amount of text. The essay consists of a limited number of words, sentences. The main thing is to argue the idea, without excesses in details that are not related to the essence of the problem raised.
  • · Long phrases. Short phrases or phrases are easier to understand. When writing an essay, you should alternate between sentences of different lengths.
  • First, it is easy to confuse it with writing. In an essay, the author expresses his point of view on a problem or topic, and in an essay, his attitude towards the work of a particular author.
  • Second, the lack of detail makes the claims weak. Everything needs to be argued, accompanied by examples and evidence.
  • Third, the lack of structure destroys the fragile structure of the text. Free composition doesn't mean you can ignore the introduction in the text, step away from the topic, and jump from thought to thought.
