On the other hand, capturing a ship can be risky, but the reward is obviously higher. Stealing outfits or cargo presents no risk (except for Marauder pirates, which sometimes self-destruct when boarded) and you can freely take as much as your cargo space allows. Disabled ships will show up as grey on the minimap regardless of their faction.īoarding a friendly ship will repair it and gives a small reputation boost with that government (other friendly ships do this automatically, but not to your flagship), while boarding a hostile ship will allow you to plunder and potentially capture it. Once a ship has been disabled, you can board it by targeting it and pressing the board key (B by default).
There are three basic different types of weapons in Endless Sky: guns (fires from the front of the ship in a straight trayectory), turrets (they require more outfit space than guns, but have a 360° aiming radius) and secondary weapons (can fire at greater range but use ammunition to fire) It increases or decreases the fuel of the targeted ship. Fuel: an unused attribute that can only be used through modding.Weapons with blast radius deal damage to all ships in range of the blast.Shield Disruption: penetrates shields and decreases the shield generation of the target.Shield Piercing: deals a percentage of shield damage to the hull of the target.Heat: raises the heat of the targeted ship.Ion: decreases the energy generation of the targeted ship and is a good way to disable ships.Some weapons also have special damage types, many of which can only be found on alien ships.
Different weapons have different values for how much shield or hull damage they will deal. Firing weapons uses energy and produces heat. You can purchase weapons which will do damage against other ships. There is no way to increase the amount of shields or hull a ship has. Regenerators will take energy and produce heat to function. You can purchase shield and hull regenerators which will repair those when you take damage. Ships have both a shield value and a hull value, and become disabled if their hull reaches 40%-10%, depending on the size of the ship.
