Assault Pod

Contents |
[edit] Overview
- Assault Pods are used to transport your Troops, HG, Crew, Fighters and Assault Craft.
- An Assault Pod can hold up to 100kt. Each 100 personnel,each fighter and each assault craft of a type weigh 1kt.
- Sensor image of Assault Pod is 200.
[edit] VCR
- You can order an Assault Pod to board an enemy ship. If you do so, it will try to board the enemy ship during combat. As pods are very likely to get shot down during combat you can only hope to succeed if using lots of them.
- Unlike other types of pods, assault pods are not shot down automatically. They are resistant to low blast weapons. If any weapon overcomes this resistance level the pod is dead. Here is the math:
If LargeWeaponBlast > (Rnd * 100) Then BOOM! If (SmallWeaponBlast + 3) > (Rnd * 80) Then BOOM! If SmallWeapon = Phasor Then BOOM!
[edit] Special
- Assault Pods can not be captured by the enemy.
- The Dust Off ship device loads a pod with all Troops, HG, Crew, Fighters, Assault Craft in your base below it. It can exceed the normal 100kt limit!
- The Aczanny Pyramids have special Assault Pods that explode when boarding enemy ships during combat (see here).
