Radiation Damage

2009-07-11T16:22:28Z

Kesku:

'''Radiation''' is one of the 8 [[damage type]]s and is essential for [[capturing]] ships using the [[Remote Control]] skill. Radiation weapons, like the [[Weapons#Radiation Weapons|Neutron Laser]], are usually beam weapons. However, tracking projectile radiation weapons do exist.

This type of damage won't actually destroy a ship. If the final "kill" shot delivered to a ship is with radiation it renders the ship's crew inert, and the ship is ready to be captured with a [[Prismatic Conversion]] weapon (abbreviated PC).

Radiation can also facilitate the capturing of a [[base]] in the same way as a ship, with the exception that a PC is not necessary.

Since radiation weaponry, as the title suggests, uses radiation, it is thought that ships 'killed' with this type of damage become irradiated and thus dangerous. Controlbots are, of course, bots and not affected.
However, one would assume that piloting a captured ship would cause serious health problems (like cancer) with the pilot. Although, no such case was ever reported.
Either the radiation wears away immediately, or Humans have developed a natural resistance to it over the years.

Monochromes

2009-07-09T19:03:54Z

Kesku:

The '''Monochromes''' are a fairly small faction, but a very curious one at that. Believing that the universe should exist only in black and white, they detest colors with a fierce abhorrence. Although they are not yet powerful enough to take over a galaxy, they nevertheless boast fearsome firepower, which they use readily against opponents.

Most choose to roam the universe as fairly peaceful traders, although some have been known to take on a pirating life.

They can be identified by their distinctive [[Monochrome Family|black and white]] ships.

It is to note that Monochromes detest colour in all forms, therefor they must bear some grudge to the numerous, bright yellow Goldenboy ships about the universe. However, no confrontation between '''Monochromes''' and '''Goldenboys''' has ever been witnessed.

The '''IGOR Powermax 2000''' can be found in [[Lady Kelvin]], a special galaxy. Appearing as a turquoise [[Goldenboy Coin|goldenboy coin]], this [[AI]] is surrounded by several [[Goldenboy Statue|goldenboy statues]]. It is level 84, and belongs to team [[IGOR Misfits]]. A [[IGOR Missions|mission chain]] leads to a confrontation with this mighty ship, but be warned! It is immune to all damage types with the exception of [[surgical]].

The '''IGOR Powermax 2000''' is a very large Goldenboy Coin, sporting a teal-coloured paintjob.

The IGOR Powermax 2000 spawns with this gear.
*MagCannon II
*Nova
*Pulse Gun II (?)
*Shield
*Combat Engine I
*Energy
*Radar

An interesting fact is that this mission chain was one of the longest bugged in Star Sonata history; despite being repeatedly reported, it was unfixed for over two years.

Face Hugger

Kesku:

[[Image:Face Hugger.png|thumb|right|'''Face Hugger''']]

Grotesque, speedy ship that attacks those who wander too far out in the [[UZ]]. Similar to the [[Giant Space Alien]]. Face Huggers are armed with a parasitic weapon whose parasites mess with your radar, slow you down, and prevent warping, ensuring that you fall prey to the [[Giant Space Alien]]!

The name of this ship is no doubt a direct reference to the popular sci-fi movie Alien, in which the small, yellow-ish creatures which emerged from eggs were dubbed 'Face Huggers'.
