Summary

The Engine is a special support building that increases your chance to dodge missiles or projectile based weapons. The dodge rate stacks additive with a second engine making it an effective counter to all Missiles launched from Missile Launchers. This also makes it a direct counter to the Firehawk Drone.

Strategy

Attacking

When attacking you shouldn't worry too much about keeping the Engine well repaired and manned as many AIs are not set to target the Engine. If you see the enemy run anything projectile based (Missiles) you should immediately switch the engine on, otherwise keep it off. This makes this room the second only counter to Penetrator Missile spam aswell.

Defending

The Engine is a pretty big gamble to put on defense as the enemy can manually target it. Its three power and usually low armor priority makes it a big target. So unless you have the later mentioned AI, just don't put in the Engine unless you can defend it well. In the end it's up to you to decide whether the 8-46% dodge is worth this.

AI Tips

The Engine with a 46% Dodge Rate will take up six entire power bars. So, when you defend the right AI can allow you to be more aggressive and suffer less when a Reactor gets destroyed. Here we will run down the basic AI, to the incredibly complex AI. Here's average AI:

None -> Set Maximum Power

Here is an extra Missile Defense AI

None -> Set Minimum Power

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

Here is an incredibly complex AI that protects against Firehawks aswell as Missiles.

None -> Set Minimum Power

Enemy Craft Count > 0 -> Set Maximum Power

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

Interactions With Crew

The Crew's Engine stat improves the Engine's dodge rate. Here is the constant Formula for dodge rate: Dodge of Engine + (Total Dodge * (Sum of Engine Stat of Crew In Room/100)). That means that to achieve a 100% Dodge rate, all you need are two max engines and atleast 120 Engine stat.
