Firing flares in a ship in Space Engineers is a vital defensive and communication tool. Flares can be used to distract or deter enemy ships, or to signal for help or indicate a position. They are relatively easy to use, and can be fired from any ship with a flare launcher.
To fire a flare, simply select the flare launcher from your ship’s toolbar and then left-click to fire. The flare will travel in a straight line until it hits an object or reaches its maximum range. Flares can be fired in any direction, including up, down, or sideways. You can also fire multiple flares at once to create a more effective distraction or signal.
