==Summary==
 
The Radar room provides you information about how much power the enemy is using and in what rooms. This is the only room that is able to spy and give detailed info about the enemy during a battle. It also has a base armor of 300, making it as armored as a [[Bedroom]].
 
 
==Strategy==
 
===Attacking===
 
The Radar is honestly not a very important room that your ship should have. How much power in a room is usually completely useless data as you can find the same thing out by watching what fires/charges. Even worse, the room needs one power to be able to spy, this alone makes the Radar very unpopular.
 
 
===Defending===
 
Before you think that the one power health it has makes it a very easy target, just remember it has a base armor of <u>300</u>. Firing at this room is essentially firing at a [[Bedroom]] (Bedrooms also have 300 armor). This makes armor and crew around the room completely unnecessary around the Radar.

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 ScienceIcon stat on crew. The formula used with this stat can be found here.
