|
| Some types of equipment can be damaged during a ring dive. For example, [[#Thrusters|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:
| | See also: [[Equipment]] |
| | |
| * 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 [[Crew#Mechanic|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.<br>The time to perform each repair is affected by the mechanic multiplier: <code>(2 / (1 + num_mechanics))</code>. Note that this multiplier is equal to 100% when you have one mechanic hired.<br>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%).

| === [[Hardpoint]]s ===
| |
| | |
| External equipment is mounted onto [[hardpoint]]s. The following equipment are all attached to external hardpoints
| |
| | |
| * [[Mass Driver]]s 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 Container]]s, 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 Driver]]s
| |
| * [[Nanodrone Components]] used by [[Drones]]
| |
| * [[Propellant Tanks]] for the [[Reaction Control System]], [[Main Propulsion]], [[Powerplant]] (exc. [[Model E|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 System]]s 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
