Summary

The Engine is a 3x2 room unlocked at level 1. When powered, the Engine increases the player's chance to dodge any type of Missile fired at them. Dodged Missiles will show up as "Miss" once it reaches its target, and will not do any damage. The chance of dodging Missile type weaponry without any type of Engine is 0%, and 100% dodge rate is possible.

The Engine doesn't need to reload, but will still act as if it's unpowered if it's EMP'd. Along with this, power given to the Engine will affect its dodge rate (Includes Crew Buff). Currently, each power bar represents 50% of the Engine's dodge rate if the Engine consumes a maximum of two power, and each power bar represents 33% of the Engine's dodge rate if the Engine consumes a maximum of three power.

Usage

In Combat

The Engine can be quite useful due to the heavy use of Missiles in a lot of strategies, especially in later levels. However, one Engine alone isn't very effective, so many players often use two or none. In later levels, players also begin stationing Crew with high Engine stats inside the Engine rooms to further increase its dodge rate. As usual, Armor the room, especially at levels 1-3 where it only consumes a maximum of two power.

When To Use

In the early game, the Engine isn't highly recommended. The early game simply doesn't have a big enough Missile threat for the Engine to be viable. The Engine also has an incredibly low dodge rate under level 5, making it more hassle than it's worth. In the mid-game, the Engine serves a bit more purpose but isn't worth it unless the player supports it with Crew with a high Engine stat. In the end-game, the Engine is much more useful, as Missiles are used extensively to shut down key rooms.

AI

Since the Engine only has a purpose if the player is being attacked with Missile weaponry, an AI that will depower the Engine if no Missile weaponry is present can save a lot of power. The below AI command will depower the Engine if the enemy has no working/present Missile Launcher/Multi Missile Launcher. The Engine is also categorized as "Engine" in AI coding.


Enemy Missile Room HP > 0% -> Set Maximum Power

None -> Set Zero Power


Below is an AI Command that will depower the Engine if the enemy has no working/present Missile Launcher/Multi Missile Launcher nor any Craft launched. The Craft section is to protect against Corsair Craft and Firehawk Craft, but it may waste power if the enemy aren't using them.


Enemy Has Active Craft -> Set Maximum Power

Enemy Missile Room HP > 0% -> Set Maximum Power

None -> Set Zero Power


Crew Interactions

The Engine is buffed with the Engine EngineTrainingIcon stat on crew. The formula used with this stat can be found here.
