Summary

The Radar (Room) is a 2x2 room unlocked at level 9. When powered, the Radar will take time off of the enemy's Cloak duration every time it reloads. The Radar is the only room which reduces Cloak duration, making it quite useful in some end-game scenarios where players run complicated Cloak Generator strategies.

Usage

In Combat

The Radar is very situational as it only serves one purpose— shorten cloak duration. If the enemy has a Cloak active, the Radar can efficiently remove large chunks of its length. With a max level Radar, it can effectively half the entire cloak duration. It is advised to Armor this room well because of its small size and energy level, similar to the Anti Craft laser.

When To Use

The Radar is best used at level 11, as the Cloak Generator is mainly used by high-level ships. Usage outside of level 11 mainly comes down to the player's choice. Some players find the Radar to be not worthwhile and would rather put their energy and space to other uses, which is completely reasonable depending on their play style.

AI

Here is a good AI command to help save power. The AI will depower the Radar if the enemy ship doesn't have a currently active cloak. The Radar is also categorized as "Radar" in AI coding.

Enemy Ship Has Cloak -> Set Maximum Power

None -> Set Minimum Power

Crew Interactions

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

-==Summary==
-Previously, the Radar (Room) was only able to detect and track the enemy's power usage. As of 5/21/18 the Radar now has a new ability, this ability is to shorten cloak times when your enemy has a [[Cloak Generator|Cloak]]. The old ability, armor, and power usage is now gone aswell.
-==Strategy==
-===Attacking===
-The Radar is pretty useless at level 9 because the cloak cannot even be unlocked yet, but it's still nice to prebuild. Once you start facing enemies with the cloak, the Radar can nullify it in a couple of seconds. Even a level one Radar can effectively cut a max Cloak's time in third instantly.
-===Defending===
-Obviously, any advanced Cloak user will try to destroy your cloak before they use their cloak. Now with the Radar's 0 base armor, this room will be a high priority [[Armor]] and crew room. Make sure to also have this AI snippet so you save power without cancelling your AI.
