Faction Special Gadgets
Each faction possesses a technology for a special device which may be found on many or all of their space-borne warships.
Flux Wave
The Flux wave is a device which stores electro-magnetic flux charges in itself. When activated, it discharges the massive energy contained within to rupture the molecular cohesion of the particles of enemy warship hulls and armoring in a large area around the device. This device is found mainly on dedicated combat and assault ships for augmenting their strength.
- Faction - UGTO
- Range - 260~300 GU
- Damage - Energy | EMP
- Recharge time - 40~50 seconds
- Recharge energy - 18 Units
Pulse Shield
The Pulse shield is a device which combines the disruptive nature of the Pulse beam with the projective capabilities of ICC Shield technology. The result is a high-powered energy wave which is projected outwards to detonate explosive projectiles and fighter engines at a distance.
Due to the wave nature of the discharge, it is not able to defend against energy-carrying cannon shots, torpedoes and lasers. Adding to that, the Shield nature of the discharge results in some targets surviving the otherwise powerful burst.
- Faction - ICC
- Range - 300 GU
- Chance of detonation - 65%
Cloaking Device
All K'Luth warships possess the ability to 'cloak' - to hide themselves completely from external detection by absorbing and neutralising all electro-magnetic spectrum energies. This ability is classed as the Cloaking Device.
While this device is active, it spends significant energy towards preventing detection. If there is a lack of energy, the delicate balance of neutralisation will be disrupted and the device will damage itself and become deficient in it's functioning.
The energy required by the device is dependent on the energy emissions of the ship, also known as Signature. The device will create heavy energy demands if the ship is hit by beacons (which attach themselves to the hull and emit strong signals), or if it is affected by E-Warfare systems. (Altering your speed in close proximity to an enemy ship while cloaked may cause you to flash up on their screens for a moment.)
- Faction - K'Luth
