FTL FASTER THAN LIGHT REPAIRING MANUAL

If Clone Bay is destroyed without any means to repair it (with System Repair Drone or Repair Burst), while all crew is in the cloning queue, the game will softlock and require a manual restart (the game over screen won't appear).Hacking pulse doesn't kill crew in the cloning queue. Dead crew members will remain in the clone queue regardless of the state of the Clone Bay, allowing you to delay their cloning for as long as necessary.'Your crew is safe in clone storage even if the system is off or broken.' Puts out all fires at once, slightly slower than a Human crew.'Automatically put out fires throughout the ship.' The Lanius Cruiser (Type A and Type B) start with this augment, as does the Federation Cruiser Type C.The effect also works when boarding enemy ships, allowing safer boarding of Lanius or Automated ships.Allows crew members to heal in a level 1 medbay without oxygen.Crystal crew members take only 25% damage from low oxygen with this augment.But it may find its use in between Flagship battles. Widely considered an undesirable augment, since the scrap loss might be significant.Does not reduce scrap gain if your hull is at maximum.The scrap reduction percentage rounds against you.Repairs your hull for 2 points every time you collect scrap.'Repairs your hull every time you collect scrap, but reduces scrap collected by 15 percent.'

Can protect from the ion pulse environmental hazard.'Protects your ship from ion damage, giving a 50 percent chance to negate it entirely.' Shield Charge Boosters stack additively, so three of them give a 45% increase in recharge rate (dropping the recharge time to about 67%).To find the improved time, divide by 1.15, giving about 87% of the base time (not 85%). Recharge time is the inverse of recharge rate. It's a 15% increase in recharge rate, not a 15% decrease in recharge time.Useful when dealing with a lot of lasers, such as the drone assault in phase two of the flagship.Stacks additively with multiple Shield Charge Boosters, and multiplicatively with crew skill.'Boosts the ship's shield recharge rate by 15 percent.' The Engi Cruiser Layout C starts with this augment.ĭefensive Augmentations Shield Charge Booster.Does not affect enemy combat drones or boarding drones.Does not affect the enemy Shield Overcharger.Causes defensive drones to completely stop working.'Prevents enemy defense drones from targeting anything.' This augment is almost useless, since hacking already locks doors and impedes enemy crew movement.Crew members who enter the affected room during the Hacking Pulse are stunned to the end of the duration as well.Affects both the enemy's and player's crew members.

'All crew inside a room during a Hacking Pulse will be stunned for the duration.' This is because one missile is used when firing these weapons, even though there are multiple attacks from them.

Multi-shot weapons (Swarm and the Pegasus Missiles) have the same 50 percent chance of not using a missile in their volley.

'Missile based weapons have a 50 percent chance of not using a missile.' However, the augment also prevents intentionally breaking cloak, which can help your cloak recharge between Flagship power surges.

Helpful with quick-firing weapons, if you want to fire during cloak.

This augmentation removes the cloak-shortening effect caused by firing non-beam weapons while cloaked.

'Prevents your weapon fire from disrupting your cloak, allowing you to shoot at will while cloaked.'

The most expensive augment in the game.

Does not affect the artillery systems found on the Federation Cruisers.

Only gives one charge to charge weapons, by default.

Only skips the first charge cycle of chain weapons (so no 'instant Vulcan').

Only works for weapons that were powered from the previous beacon.

'Weapons are made immediately available after an FTL jump.'

For example, with fully-trained crew and three reloaders, the multiplier is 0.8/(1 + 3/10) = 0.615, meaning a Flak 1 would fire in 6.15 seconds.

If 'C' is the crew skill multiplier and 'R' is the number of reloaders, the charge time multiplier is: C/(1 + R/10).

Cooldown is the inverse of firing rate, so one Automated Reloader divides cooldown by 1.1.

Reloaders stack additively, so three of them increase firing rate by 30%. You could think of it as increasing shots per minute. It actually increases firing rate by 10%. The augment description is somewhat misleading.Stacks additively with multiple reloaders, and stacks multiplicatively with crew skill.This also applies to the artillery system on the Federation Cruisers.'Cooldown between weapon shots is improved by 10 percent.'
