This category contains the various Equipment you can install on your ships.
Some types of equipment can be damaged during a ring dive. For example, thrusters may receive normal wear from usage, and they may become misaligned due to a high-velocity ringroid impact. While in a dive, the Mechanic crew panel will show damageable equipment, as well as:
- what causes equipment to become damaged;
- what negative effects occur due to accumulated damage; and
- how much damage has been sustained so far.
At Enceladus, damaged equipment can be replaced or repaired. Replacing a component is generally (but not always!) more expensive, but generally takes less time and restores the equipment to a pristine, new condition. Repairing a component is generally less expensive, but generally takes more time and may require multiple repairs to restore a component to a desirable condition. The amount of repair possible is dependent on your Mechanic's skill level.
- Each repair will fix half of the damage on the component. For example, if a railgun has 12% misalignment, 30% wear, and 2% warped barrel, a single repair will fix it to 6% misalignment, 15% wear, and 1% warped barrel.
- Having more than one mechanic decreases the amount of time required to perform repairs, but does not decrease the cost.
The time to perform each repair is affected by the mechanic multiplier:(2 / (1 + num_mechanics)). Note that this multiplier is equal to 100% when you have one mechanic hired.
For example, a reactor repair that takes 2 days if you have one mechanic will take 4 days if you have no mechanic (multiplier = 200%), and will take 1 day if you have three mechanics (multiplier = 50%).
Hardpoints
External equipment is mounted onto hardpoints. The following equipment are all attached to external hardpoints
- Mass Drivers fire kinetic slugs and consume ammunition (damageable)
- Energy Weapons such as lasers and microwaves that do not require ammunition (damageable)
- Plasma Weapons fire superheated plasma by consuming propellant (damageable)
- Manipulator Arm that can grab ringroids, ore, and salvage (damageable)
- Drones can slow down and/or haul ore to your ship
- Detachable cradled equipment such as Cargo Containers, the B8 Claim Beacon, the NT Mining Companion, and the External Impact Absorber
Different types of hardpoints -- high-stress, low-stress, drone hardpoints, docking bays, and spinal hardpoints -- can accommodate different equipment.
Internal Storage
Ships have storage in the form of
- Kinetic Ammunition used by Mass Drivers
- Nanodrone Components used by Drones
- Propellant Tanks for the Reaction Control System, Main Propulsion, Powerplant (exc. Stellarator), and Plasma Weapons
- Cargo Bay that stores unprocessed ore and cargo, and may contain a mineral processing unit to process ore into processed minerals.
Thrusters
Thrusters consume propellant and use heat and electrical power to accelerate the ship.
- Reaction Control Systems provide fine maneuvering and rotational control (damageable)
- Main Propulsion (damageable)
Power
The power system consists of the following
- Reactor Core that provides thermal power used by thrusters, the powerplant, auxiliary generators, and some other equipment
- Nuclear reactor, which is ship-specific and houses the reactor core (damageable)
- Powerplant that consumes thermal power to produce electrical power
- Ultracapacitor Array that store excess electrical energy to be used during peak demand
- Auxiliary Power Unit either an additional electrical generator or an electrical energy storage system
Electronics
A ships electronics consist of
- Autopilot that maintains a stable velocity and orientation of the ship
- Head-Up Display (HUD) to display to the pilot the status of the ship, its systems, and external sensors
- On-board computer, which is ship-specific and performs necessary computations for the autopilot and the HUD (damageable)
Overhead
The overhead are systems that provide a view of the area around your ship
- Reconnaissance Craft that provides an external view of the ship
- LIDAR provides a view of objects surrounding the ship in a spiral pattern
