Summary

The Penetrator Missile is a Missile unlocked for the Missile Launcher/Multi Missile Launcher after the player researches Penetrator in the Laboratory. The Penetrator Missile deals massive amounts of Direct Hull Damage, allowing it to destroy entire ships by itself.

Like all Missiles, the Penetrator Missile bypasses shields and can be dodged by ships that have a powered Engine onboard. The Penetrator Missile can be upgraded by continuing to research Penetrator in the Laboratory.

Usage

Missile Combos

Penetrator Spam [Win Condition][Early-End Game] +

Advantages: Doesn't require any other weapon rooms, can mess up enemy AI and is unaffected by shields.
Disadvantages: Hard to pull off without 20-25 Crew, and Engines can be a hassle to destroy.
Additional Notes: Usually, this combo is paired with the Teleport so the player can destroy rooms like the Engine. In addition, make sure the Penetrator Missiles target sparsely Armored rooms to maximize damage.

3X Penetrator Spam [Win Condition] + +

Advantages: Doesn't require any other weapon rooms, can mess up enemy AI and is unaffected by shields.
Disadvantages: Hard to pull off without 23-25 Crew, and Engines can be a hassle to destroy.
Additional Notes: It's basically an upgraded version of the normal Penetrator Spam combo.

When To Use

The Penetrator Missile is a win condition (Meaning it only affects the enemy's HP, which must be 0 to win) and thus, can't be swapped in as easily as other Missiles could. However, here are some general tips for success when running the Penetrator Missile. Crew manning the Missile rooms should have a high weapon stat, plenty of defender Crew should be positioned to kill enemy boarders, and the ship using the combo must have the ability to withstand lots of damage from the enemy.

AI

The AI equip command for the Penetrator Missile is relatively straightforward. Once the below AI equip command is in the Missile Launcher/Multi Missile Launcher, it will automatically equip the Penetrator Missile during combat.

None -> Set Highest Hull Damage

Trivia

The Penetrator Missile has obtained a rather hated reputation.

-=='''Summary'''==
-The Penetrator Missile is a [[:Category:Missiles|Missile]] unlocked for the [[Missile Launcher]]/[[Multi Missile Launcher]] after the player researches [[Penetrator]]. Like other Missiles, the Penetrator Missile bypasses [[Shield Generator|shields]] and can be dodged by ships that have an [[Engine]] equipped. The Penetrator Missile can also be upgraded by continuing to research Penetrator in the [[Laboratory]].
-The Penetrator Missile deals direct hull damage to the [[:Category:Rooms|Room]] it hits. Direct hull damage is a damage type that completely ignores system health and instead damages the enemy's HP/hull directly. This damage will still be affected by damage penalties from [[Armor]], [[Small Beacon]]s, and Innate Armor.

-The Penetrator Spam combo is by far the most used combo for the Penetrator Missile. Basically, this combo involves targeting sparsely Armored rooms to deal as much direct hull damage as you can. [[Engine]]s will be the biggest target for you as the dodge rate can cost you the battle.

-The 3X Penetrator Spam combo is basically the upgraded version of the normal Penetrator Spam combo. The extra Missile makes the combo even more threatening. As usual with Penetrator builds, target Engines to reduce dodge chance, and rooms with little Armor to get the most direct hull damage out of each missile.
