View source for Special ship abilities

Most ships (and buildings) have one or several special abilities. they are defined in the battle syntax.

play a bit with the [[Ship Constructor]] to find out more

here is a list of all possible modifiers a ship can have:

== jamming ==

some ships have the ability to jam other ships. if a ship is jammed it cannot fight anymore, and the next ship of the other player has its turn, this means, the enemy ship is treated as if it had already shot and you have the initiative back

if a ship jams an enemy ship, it puts the [[shoot-counter]] one up, so the enemy ship counts as "has already shot" the only effect that could make this ship shoot would be the ... 

{{incompletelist}}

'''example:'''

100 EMP-fighter vs 100 destroyer
i.g. all destroyers are jammed this way ( exception: the player with the destroyers shoots first, then in this battle one EMP-fighter would be destroyed)

== cloning ==

the clone ship transforms into the cloned ship, until end of combat. it has exactly the same abilitys like the original.

== reconstruction ==

a reconstructor-ship reanimates disabled ships (ships with 0 lifepoints). ships with less lifepoints than 0 are completely destroyed and cannot be reconstruted. examples:
- a destroyer that was hit by a destroyer has 0 LP and can be reconstructed
- a fighter hit by an eagle (2/10) cannot be reconstructed because it has -1 lifepoint



= All Effects =

== mod ==
modify ships AP and/or LP in the battle

== fight == 
this just means that the ships fires now with it's AP.

== create ==
creates one or more other ships (like missiles, battle drones but could also create fighters or sth. like that) and these ships appear in the specified class immediately with all their abilities (depricated syntax: 'add')

== shield ==
moves the [[targetcounter]] of the enemy to your next ship (if all your ships are shielded or destroyed your shielded ships will not reappear for the next classbattle)

== destroy ==
destroys a ship and leaves it with 0 LP. (it is still reconstructable this way).
weakest destruction effect, destroyed ships have 0 LP and can be reconstructed

== kill ==
destroys a ship and leaves it with -5000 LP
second weakest destruction effect, killed ships cannot be reconstructed, but some ships or buildings are kill-resistent

== obliterate ==
destroys a ship and leaves it with -5000 LP (not reconstructable).
most effective destruction effect, nearly no ship is immune against that

== recycle ==
recycles the ship like back home in the shipyard. the target is removed from the battle (obliterate-effect) but nobody wins or looses points for it

== repair ==
repairs your ship that is the actual target of your enemy in your fleet back to full lifepoints (AP stay like they are)

== shuffle ==
this function shuffles the battleorder of the selected class in the selected fleet. note: this is only useful, if you have created ships and you want to change the battle order that way, that they do not shoot all in one row. or if this ship is modifying ships and you want to assure, that there is another ship modified every time and not only one ship all the time. for example the l-prom (modify 10 ships by +10 in class 2 from out of class 1) needs this because otherwise it would modify the same 10 first ships in class 2 again and again. with shuffle it will modify other ships each time

== sd ==
selfdestruction. if this ship has its turn, it selfdestructs at the end of its turn

== blast ==
destroys already damaged ships in the specified class and fleet (like the <ship>bounty hunter</ship>)

== clone ==
clones the enemy ship that is the actual target 

== steal ==
steals the enemy ship that is the actual target

== beserk ==
with this option the ship will continue shooting until it is destroyed.  
note: only very few ships have this effect, cause this modifier should be used with care, cause it can have unpredictable loop-effects

== retreat ==
ends the actual class battle

== disable ==
disables all abilities of the specified ships (for example a mine deployer does not deploy its mine anymore)

== evolve ==
this only happens at the end of the whole battle. the ship becomes the new ship.

== restart ==
all your ships that survived so far start for another shoot (your counter is set back to your first ship).  note: this modifier should be used with care, cause it can have unpredictable loop-effects

== select ==
an effect only occurs if the target ships has less/more/equal mp/lp/ap than a specific value. if the targeted ship has less/more/equal the selected value the rest of the modifier will not be executed.

= Trigger Effects =
triggered ffects happen only if another ship targets the ship with an effect:

== Action Triggers ==
=== trigger_hit ===
the following action in the battle syntax only happens right after the ship was hit by the firepower of an enemy ship

=== trigger_destruction ===
the following action in the battle syntax only happens right after the ship was hit by the firepower of an enemy ship and destroyed this way

=== trigger_destroy ===
the following action in the battle syntax only happens right after the ship was destroyed by a '''destroy''' effect

=== trigger_kill ===
the following action in the battle syntax only happens right after the ship was destroyed by a '''kill''' effect

=== trigger_obli ===
the following action in the battle syntax only happens right after the ship was destroyed by an '''obliterate''' effect

=== trigger_jam ===
the following action in the battle syntax only happens right after the ship was '''jammed'''

=== trigger_rec ===
the following action in the battle syntax only happens right after the ship was '''reconstructed'''

=== trigger_plus ===
the following action in the battle syntax only happens right after the ship was '''modified''' (both + and -)

=== trigger_multiply ===
the following action in the battle syntax only happens right after the ship was '''modified''' by any factor

=== trigger_repair ===
this adds a trigger to the ship, that causes an action you can define later, that happens if the ship is repaired

== immunity-triggers ==

=== trigger_0_rec ===
with this modifier the ship cannot be reconstructed

=== trigger_0_destroy ===
with this modifier the ship cannot be destroyed

=== trigger_0_kill ===
with this modifier the ship cannot be killed

=== trigger_0_obli ===
with this modifier the ship cannot be obliterated

=== trigger_0_multiply ===
with this modifier the ship cannot be modified by multiplication

=== trigger_0_plus ===
with this modifier the ship cannot be modified (+ or -)

=== trigger_-_jam ===
if the ship is jammed, the initiative will not go back to the enemy
