Equipment

Equipments can be assigned to slots on a ship.

Slots are categorized by type:

• Shield (to avoid damages)
• Engine (to move and evade)
• Power (to recover action points)
• Weapon (to do damages)
• Utility (for anything else)

Loot

This section describes how random equipment is generated for looting.

Equipment generation is based on templates. A template defines:

• Type of slot this equipment fit in (weapon, shield, armor...)
• Base name (e.g. Terminator Missile)
• Acceptable range for each ability's requirement (e.g. material/1/3, gravity/3/8)
• Targetting flags (self, allied, enemy, space)
• Range for distance to target
• Range for effect area's radius
• Range for duration
• List of effects, with efficacity range
• Action Points usage range
• Level requirements range

Here is an example of template:

• slot: weapon
• name: Concussion Missile Salvo
• material: 1/3
• energy: 2/5
• time: 1/1
• target: enemy, space
• range: 50/80
• effect radius: 2/5
• duration: 1/1
• damage shield: 50/80
• damage hull: 20/60
• action points: 2/4
• level: 3/6

The weaker weapon this template will generate, will be based on lower value for all ranges:

• material: 1
• energy: 2
• time: 1
• range: 50
• effect radius: 2
• duration: 1
• damage shield: 50
• damage hull: 20
• action points: 2
• level: 3

Conversely, the stronger weapon will be based on higher range values.
