===Mechanics=== Gameplay in ''Earthsiege 2'' is largely identical to that in ''Earthsiege''. The player controls his or her Herc with the keyboard and/or joystick, while the mouse can be used to interact with buttons in the cockpit. Eight Hercs are available for piloting, each with its own unique characteristics. Gameplay is changed somewhat, however, by the addition of the new airskimmer, the ''Razor'', an aircraft which the player can pilot. Success in battle is again dependant on several factors. The player must choose the vehicle best suited to the mission requirements, whether it be a slow and powerful Herc, a fast and light one, or the Razor. A good weapon configuration is also a necessity. During combat, the player must be able to maneuver enough to avoid some enemy fire, as well as score as many hits as possible on the enemy. Again, when using a Herc, the key to success is effective use of torso twist. While flying the Razor, the player must keep in mind his or her speed and altitude, and be able to make effective passes against enemy vehicles. With Hercs or the Razor, it is also important to remember to focus the shields forwards or backwards to best suit the current situation. As in ''Earthsiege'', the player is allowed up to three squadmates per mission. Squadmate Hercs are assigned and outfitted by the player, and squadmates gain experience as they complete missions.
