#ROBOCRAFT POWER BOOSTER PATCH#

Main thing to note is that they have the highest evasion out of any ship so they have a higher chance of not getting hit by larger weapons as you will learn in the weapons guide, the bigger the weapons the harder it is to hit ships higher evasion.

Picket Ship – 2 Small Weapon, 1 Point Defence, 3 Small Utility, 1 AuxilaryĬorvettes are the first war ships you get and are the cheapest and fastest and all that.

Torpedo Boat – 1 Small Weapon, 1 Guided, 3 Small Utility, 1 Auxilary.

Interceptor – 3 Small Weapons, 3 Small Utility, 1 Auxilary.

1 Section, 1 Command point, 60 Mineral Cost, 60 Build time, 300 Hull, 60% Evasion, 170 Speed.

Here I will explain the Corvette to the best of my ability.

Enigmatic Encoder +5% Accuracy +5 Tracking is an upgraded Auxiliary Fire-Control and is best for ships with Point Defence and autocannons.

Enigmatic Encoder +20% Evasion is extremely handy for your Corvettes as they will be more likely to survive combat with an 80% base evasion rate with this equipped.

Auxiliary Fire-Control +5 Accuracy is useful for adding accuracy which will also slightly increase tracking.

Advanced/Afterburners +20% Speed +10% Evasion/+10% Speed +5% Evasion is useful for giving your ships that extra boost in Evasion or boosting their overall speed for faster close range combat or as aid to a fleet that requires to travel faster within the system.

Shield Capacitors +10% Shields is good for increasing shields if your ships have a lot of shields or need that slight boost.

Regenerative Hull Tissue +2 Armor regeneration +1 Hull Regeneration heals your ships each day, useful for making hit and run tactics even more effective.

This can be useful as excess power gives a small bonus, at most 10%, evasion, speed and weapon damage.

Advanced/Improved/Reactor Boosters +100 +50 +20 Add power respectively to your ship.

They can significant add bonuses and benefits depending your ships purpose. Hull does not generate unless you have Hull Regeneration so will require trips back to a shipyard for repairs throughout the game.Īuxiliary are extra modules that go into the Auxiliary slots of a ship. Hull HP can be changed if Crystal Plating is equipped otherwise hull will be dependent on the type of ship. Hull is based on the ship type, typically the smaller the ship the smaller the hull. Hull is the ships HP, if it goes 0 it gets destroyed. Unless you have the Armor Regeneration, this type of defence will require frequent visits back to a shipyard for repairs, especially when retreating via FTL. Armor is cheaper than shields but required to be repaired when damage.

Prior to the 2.0 patch armor used to be based on a damage reduction formula which was difficult to calculate for people and thus was changed to a HP style. However they are weak against energy weapons.

The feature of armor is that it is effective against Kinetic weapons and does not consumer power. It does not regenerate like shields unless equipped with Armor Regeneration.

Shields are more expensive than armor however a ships survival is more important than its cost in most cases.Īrmor is the second layer of defense if equipped. Shields are good for hit and run tactics early game due to its shield regeneration and is favored because of it. However they are weak against kinetic weapons and consume power. The feature of shields is that they are effective against energy weapons. The first line of defense if equipped, otherwise the ship will just have a hull. Here explains the type of defence available and how ships survive out in space. In terms of balance, I am not sure if the game is balanced up to this point however I do notice Corvette swarming becoming popular. At this point I am still learning but as techs and tactics change you will eventually have to be knowledgeable on what counters what. Due to the nature of the beast it is important to know what every weapon does. This is due to the amount of customizations available and the possible combinations available if one chooses to. Welcome to the most complicated complicated part of the game.
