[edit] Nova Barbitic Minefields

This is a special type of minefield that can only be dropped by The Robotic Imperium. This is a racial ability so that any ship captured from The Robots will not drop Nova Barbitic Minefields.

They can also stop hyperjumps like Gravitonic Minefields.
These special minefields can also cause a chain reaction when detonated.

[edit] Damage done during Movement

Nova barbitics do double damage when moving through them as was assumed by players and defined by Tim.
A ship hitting a barbitic mine gets hull damage:

Hull Damage         : ((100 / Hull Mass) * (RND * 150 + 130)) * 2

If Hull Mass >= 400kt the hull damage is multiplied by an (reducing) factor (Host 213k):

Hull Damage         : Hull Damage * ( (12000 - (Hull Mass - 400)) / 12000 ) * 2

There is also the chance that the soft spot of the ship is hit and additional hull damage is inflicted:

IF RND(0 to 50) <= Hull_SoftSpot THEN 
  Hull Damage       : Hull Damage + (RND(0 to 200) + 20

A minehit also deals damage to the other ship parts:

Engine Damage       : (100 / Hull Mass) x RND(0 to 50) + 5
Life Support Damage : (100 / Hull Mass) x RND(0 to 120)
System Damage       : (100 / Hull Mass) x RND(0 to 80)
Shield Damage       : (100 / Hull Mass) x RND(0 to 40)
Weapon Damage       : (100 / Hull Mass) x RND(0 to 60)

Ship Scanner profile increases by 800 for the rest of the movement phases for each Barbitic Minefield hit.
Unlike normal barbitic minefields these minefields do no harm to fighter wings when wings pass through them during movement.

[edit] Damage done during Detonation

Hull Damage   = 2 * ( (2000 / (hull_mass + 1)) + 2 )
System Damage = 4 * ( (2000 / (hull_mass + 1)) + 2 )

The Robotic Imperium's ships take less damage (1% hull and 2% system; doubled for Nova) from Barbitic and Nova Barbitic Minefield detonations, including chain reactions.

[edit] Being Robots

Growth rate of 0 (zero). Robots are produced in Insectiod Nests.
- Tank-O-Tronic exotic techs do not work.
Emotion Chips increase happiness and reduce crime.
Robots cannot be assimilated.
Robot prisoners do work in labor mines but not in labor camps.
Have no need for food. No base structures require food. Happiness isn't influenced by food.
Kerria Crystal Artifacts are used for training high guard instead of food.

[edit] November 19, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213y

New: Native Dust Off will provide a ship log entry if it cannot perform the action due to resource point constraints.

[edit] September 25, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213s

Changed: Cleaned up base log text for Public Space Port native migrations, Scavenger Crawler native resource gathering, Cyborg assimilations, Insectoid attacks, Enforcer arresting unit, Coalition rescue team, Coalition Focus Stones, Stellar Matter Launcher, Privateer unhappiness to neighbors, Robots native/prisoner conversion, and IMT chupanoid fun.

Changed: Robot Insectoid Nest base log will provide enemy base name and ID if they have a scan of it; otherwise, no information is provided.

Changed: Robot Gun Zero requires that you have at least a 'contact' level scan of the target. Previously, it could fire at ships that didn't appear on the map at all. Its firing at cloaked targets hasn't changed.

[edit] Sep 10, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213n

[edit] September 10th, 2007

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.210 Patch1

Robot Q Tanker can mask the sensor image of Unique Robot hulls (Hulls 89 through 96) owned by the same Robot player within 100 LY, giving them a sensor image of only 5. (Robot Small, Large, Super, Merlin, & Alaska will not cloak anymore)

[edit] August 31th, 2007

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.186

New: Robot nest powers increased to taking 3% (was a random 0.00% to 3%) of all enemy colonists in range and has the side effect of killing an extra 4.5%. If you are in the circle of robot nest death you will loose 7.5% of your colonists per turn.

New: The range of the robot nest is based on turn number and number of insects and colonists on the base. The nest range has a minimum range of 30LY and a maximum range of 400 LY. At the beginning of the game the range will be about 100LY around the home world at turn 60 the range will be about 400 LY around all high population planets. The base will get a log message telling you the current nest range.

A = SQR(Colonists + Insectoids) / 5
B = 100 + Turn_Number * 5
If A < B then nest range is A.
If B < A then nest range is B.
